_______________________________ On the eve of her ninth birthday,
Rose Edelstein bites into her mother's homemade lemon-chocolate
cake and discovers she has a magical gift: she can taste her
mother's emotions in the slice. All at once her cheerful, can-do
mother tastes of despair and desperation. Suddenly, and for the
rest of her life, food becomes perilous. Anything can be revealed
at any meal. Rose's gift forces her to confront the truth behind
her family's emotions - her mother's sadness, her father's
detachment and her brother's clash with the world. But as Rose
grows up, she learns that there are some secrets even her taste
buds cannot discern. The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake is about
the pain of loving those whom you know too much about, and the
secrets that exist within every family. At once profound, funny,
wise and sad, this is a novel to savour.
