![]() Lots to Love! Black Cake checked so many of my boxes for a memorable read! Complicated family dynamics + sibling relationships + a secret sister+ well drawn, likable characters + a pageturning plot + escape + reconciliation + compelling themes. Can they overcome their bitterness and deal with the secrets their Mom shares about her history? Will a secret sibling add further complications to an already strained relationship? ![]() In fact, Benny hasn’t seen the family in twenty years. Byron and Benny were close as children and grew up in a loving home, but they have grown apart as adults. In addition, they are to share the “black cake” (Caribbean rum soaked fruit cake) in the freezer when the time is right, and they’ll know when it is the right time. On the occassion of their mother’s passing, Byron and Benny are left with their mother’s voice recording and specific instructions: they are to listen to it together in its entirety and in the presence of the family lawyer. Thanks #NetGalley for a complimentary eARC of #BlackCake upon my request. ![]() ![]() *This post contains Amazon affiliate links.
