A cry for reparations for Lucy Lurie. She is the victim of an act of terrible sexual violence that devastes her life. Afterwards, she becomes obsessed with the author John Coetzee, the man who wrote the scene of violence in which she was attacked. Withdrawn and fearful of crowds, Lucy nonetheless makes occasional forays into the world of men in her search for Coetzee himself. She means to confront him. The Lucy in his novel, Disgrace, is passive and almost entirely lacking agency. Lucy means to right the record, for she is the lacuna that Coetzee left in his novel--the missing piece of the puzzle. Lucy plans to put herself back in the story, to assert her agency and identity. For Lucy Lurie will be no man's lacuna.

This riveting, feminist reply to the book considered to be Coetzee's masterwork is also a moving story of one woman trying to put her life back together after trauma.

Terri McGraw likes to say that she married Mr. Break-It -- so she originated her alter ego, Mrs. Fixit, out of sheer necessity. Her nationally syndicated home repair segments are distributed by CNN and broadcast in more than sixty-five markets in the United States and Canada. She lives with her family in Syracuse, New York.
