Kingsolver's ambitious new novel, her first in nine years, focuses on Harrison Shepherd, the son of an American father and a Mexican mother. After getting kicked out of an American military academy in the 1930’s, Harrison spends his formative years in Mexico in the household of Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and their houseguest, Leon Trotsky. After Trotsky’s assassination, Harrison returns to the U.S., where he writes historical potboilers and becomes swept up in the post World War II anticommunist witch hunts.

After the reading, Barbara will autograph books.
