Extract: Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson
An estranged brother and sister must set aside their differences to deal with their mother’s death and their puzzling inheritance: an audio recording, in which she tells the story of her hidden past, and her famous black cake to be shared ‘when the time is right’. Their journey of discovery takes them from the Caribbean to London to California, and changes everything they thought they knew about their family. An immersive and deeply satisfying family drama.
