Black Cake

I'm glad I read this one, which is the author's debut novel. Grabs you from start with powerful narrative. Similar to the "black cake" in the title, which refers to the Jamaican dessert (think fruit cake) - our family histories are a mixture of cultures and backgrounds that make up our own unique story. The writing is uneven in parts but good page turner. 4.5 stars rounded down.




A delicious multigenerational story full of love, determination and secrets; well written with many twists, an engaging page turner.
