It's been nearly a decade since Barbara Kingsolver's last novel, "Prodigal Summer," was published, and her readers have been antsy. "The Lacuna" certainly was worth the wait -- it's her best novel yet. It's epic and deeply personal, with Kingsolver masterfully interlacing one man's journey from houseboy to acclaimed writer with the equally tumultuous mid-20th-century courses of the United States and Mexico.

It's been nearly a decade since Barbara Kingsolver's last novel, "Prodigal Summer," was published, and her readers have been antsy.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- They're coming armed with lingering anger from an emotional summer breakup. They're going to yell and scream and vent at someone who did them wrong. It's the Akron kid they watched grow up, the one they loved, the one who restored hope ... only to rip their hearts out. Indeed, Cleveland fans are on edge this week.
