Description: text file
In this moving debut novel, two estranged siblings must set aside their differences to deal with their mother?s death and her hidden past?a journey of discovery that takes them from the Caribbean to London to California and ends with her famous black cake. “At turns delightfully juicy and then stunningly wise, Black Cake is a winner.”?Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones & The Six ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022? Glamour, Bustle, Marie Claire, Essence, Parade, Business Insider, Town & Country, Vulture, PopSugar, W magazine, BookPage In development as a Hulu original series produced by Marissa Jo Cerar, Oprah Winfrey (Harpo Films), and Kapital Entertainment We can?t choose what we inherit. But can we choose who we become? In present-day California, Eleanor Bennett?s death leaves behind a puzzling inheritance for her two children, Byron and Benny: a traditional Caribbean black cake, made from a family recipe with a long history, and a voice recording. In her message, Eleanor shares a tumultuous story about a headstrong young swimmer who escapes her island home under suspicion of murder. The heartbreaking tale Eleanor unfolds, the secrets she still holds back, and the mystery of a long-lost child, challenge everything the siblings thought they knew about their lineage, and themselves. Can Byron and Benny reclaim their once-close relationship, piece together?Eleanor?s true history, and fulfill her final request to “share the black cake when the time is right”? Will their mother?s revelations bring them back together or leave them feeling more lost than ever? Charmaine Wilkerson?s debut novel is a story of how the inheritance of betrayals, secrets, memories, and even names, can shape relationships and history. Deeply evocative and beautifully written, Black Cake is an extraordinary journey through the life of a family changed forever by the choices of its matriarch.
