Klappentext zu „The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake “
On the eve of her ninth birthday Rose Edelstein bites into her mother's lemon-chocolate cake and to her horror discovers that she can taste her mother's emotions in the slice. Suddenly food becomes perilous. Anything can be revealed by any meal - truths about her mother's life outside the home, her father's strange detachment and her brother's clash with the world. Yet as Rose grows up, she realises there are some secrets even her taste buds cannot discern. THE PARTICULAR SADNESS OF LEMON CAKE is a luminous tale about the heartbreak of loving those whom you know too much about.

Rezension zu „The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake “
"A book with such beautiful writing that sometimes I have to stop and taste a sentence a second time" -- Jodi Picoult Grazia "A wonderful metaphor for the child's sense of things that are never mentioned, and Bender writes with wit, warmth and insight" The Times "Quirky, engaging tale of a family endowed with unlikely gifts, the ties that bind people barely conceal the chasms that divide them" Guardian "The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake has at its heart an intriguing and poignant comment on the perils of childhood ... Bender brilliantly dovetails Rose's condition into a parable of the dangers of knowing too much about people, especially your family ... it is fresh and beautifully written" The Sunday Times "A beguiling, offbeat book that reads like a poem" Daily Telegraph
