Black Cake
Apie prekę
Crossing continents and juggling lives, Black Cake is a
moving and powerful debut which spans sixty years in the life of one
Caribbean/American family
Eleanor Bennett won't let her own death get in the way of
the truth. So when her estranged children - Byron and Benny - reunite for her
funeral in California, they discover a puzzling inheritance. First, a voice
recording in which everything Byron and Benny ever knew about their family is
upended. Their mother narrates a tumultuous story about a headstrong young
woman who escapes her island home under suspicion of murder, a story which cuts
right to the heart of the rift that's separated Byron and Benny. Second, a
traditional Caribbean black cake made from a family recipe with a long history
that Eleanor hopes will heal the wounds of the past.
Can Byron and Benny fulfil their mother's final
request to 'share the black cake when the time is right'? Will Eleanor's
revelations bring them back together or leave them feeling more lost than ever?
