The origin of black cake lies in British plum pudding, but the heart of black cakes lies in the Caribbean. For Benny and Byron Bennett, a black cake is a last gift from their mother Eleanor. A cake and a recording of Eleanor telling her story is their heritage. This book covers a lot social and political ground. Yet, the thread always winds back to Eleanor's story, which is emotional and compelling. Given that this is Charmaine Wilkerson's debut novel, I look forward to what she writes next.
