Let's Talk Books AAR Edition: Black Cake

by Charmaine Wilkerson

Join us via Zoom to discuss the fiction pick for this year's All Alexandria Reads theme of courage!

This month's Barrett Book club pick was a New York Times bestseller, Read With Jenna book club pick, UK Indie Book of the Month pick and one of Oprah's Daily's Best Books of 2022. It was also made into a HULU original screen series.  It is a multi-generational tale that spans from California to the Caribbean. 

From the Washington Post "This penetrating look at a delicacy filled with emotional turmoil but built into the very soul of a community echoes more sweeping issues of identity. Wilkerson is questioning the very essence of tradition that is known to many people of Caribbean heritage."
