I really, really liked this book which surprised me since I am not a huge Barbara Kingsolver fan. I had no idea what it was about when I started reading it, but it turns out it is historical fiction. It follows the life of Harrison Shepherd growing up in Mexico and eventually working as a cook for Trotsky, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. I won’t tell you any more. I don’t want to give anything else away. 🙂
