This week's favorite: Aimee Bender's the Particular Sadness of Lemon cake. It's about a girl who can taste the emotions of the people who have made the food she eats. It's a terrible experience, but she follows it along, and makes peace with it eventually. Her family is of course, disjointed and disaffected and do not believe what she is saying. I loved the writing. And needless to say, I was entranced by the story. You might want to find this one. It's very popular. |
