Helpful Score: 3
Rose Edelstein's mom worked in an office for years to help pay her husband's school fees. Now that they are paid off, she quits and immerses herself in new projects. She's planted strawberries, she takes up construction -- putting a door in her son Joseph's room, she takes vintage lace and creates doilies and she takes up baking a cake from scratch.
For Rose's ninth birthday, her mom has made a lemon cake with chocolate frosting. On first taste, it is scrumptious, but the longer it lingers on her tongue, the taste changes. Rose begins to taste emotions. And so it begins, anything that Rose eats, she tastes emotions and learns secrets that she probably would rather not know.
Aimee Bender has penned a remarkable tale with a creative gift and flair. Their is humor, sadness, and it is profoundly page turning. You won't want to miss this one!
