Bookclub Alert! Aimee Bender signs The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake
BOOKCLUB ALERT!Village Books favorite author Aimee Bender will be here to celebrate the paperback release (4/19) of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake. "On the eve of her ninth birthday, unassuming 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. To her horror, she finds that her cheerful mother tastes of despair. Soon, she's privy to the secret knowledge that most families keep hidden: her father's detachment, her mother's transgression, her brother's increasing retreat from the world. But there are some family secrets that even her cursed taste buds can't discern." Bender's books make GREAT bookclub selections; read the book, and discuss it with the author!
