pickThis book was EPIC! I am in awe of Barbara Kingsolver. She made the decades of history fly by. So many famous people graced these pages and I was enthralled. “The past is all we know of the future” Using the premise of diary entries and correspondences 500 years of Mexican history is beautifully recorded and shared to create this powerful story of friendship, censorship, art and politics! I LOVED it!!! #politicalIntrigue #Booked2019
