On the eve of her ninth birthday, Rose Edelstein bites into her mother's homemade lemon-chocolate cake and discovers she has a magical gift: she can taste her mother's emotions in the slice. Suddenly, and for the rest of her life, food becomes perilous. All at once her cheerful, can-do mother tastes of despair and desperation.
Rose's gift forces her to confront the truth behind her family's emotions – her mother's sadness, her father's detachment and her brother's clash with the world. Anything can be revealed at any meal. But as Rose grows up, she learns that there are some secrets even her taste buds cannot discern.
The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake is about the pain of loving those whom you know too much about, and the secrets that exist within every family. At once profound, funny, wise and sad, this is a novel to savour.
