Black Cake
This novel blends family drama, mystery, and cultural history into a sweeping story about identity, inheritance, and the secrets that shape who we become. I loved the exploration of how food connects generations, preserves memory, and holds cultural meaning with the black cake being a symbol of ancestry, celebration, and continuity. However, it’s a bit slow and uneventful, so be prepared to be a little bored.
