A Black Cake and a startling recorded message are two of the puzzling surprises Eleanor Bennett leaves behind for two children, Byron and Benny when she passes on. Charmaine Wilkerson’s deeply evocative novel embodies unrevealed birth, tragedy, all the hidden secrets that Eleanor takes to her grave, while the estranged children try to unravel the real story and their legacy. The black cake hails back to Eleanor’s Caribbean upbringing. This book discussion finishes with a special treat of the black cake!
