The first thing to say is that there are two books here: one is a long short story, and the other is a baking recipe book for cake and sweet treats. I enjoyed the recipes and would like to try a few, as they looked delicious, and unlike most recipe b ...more

At first I thought what was being said about the rise of AI was true! Later, not much later, I realised this was a parody, and a delightful one at that. Maybe not quite a black comedy, but a serious statement about the excesses of authority. Set in so ...more

Some books you just want to keep reading and are disappointed when they end. This, for me, was one. A mixture of philosophy and drama, and an insight into the influence of the church in the US (Tennessee, where the book is set), does leave a sour tas ...more

A very good read. Angel, the main character, is a difficult person to like from start to finish of the book, but that does not detract from the curiosities of the storyline. Essentially, it’s her history from a young age to her old age, and her relat ...more
