The main character can taste the emotions of the people who
make the food she eats. Her brother is trying to literally disappear. Southern
California is a wistful, glaringly pastel backdrop for this book about magic so
ordinary that it seems to escape the notice of everyone around them.
This book is beautiful, understated, dramatic in a quiet
way. It’s magical realism at its most realistic. Just a girl who can taste her
mother’s sadness in fresh-baked lemon cake.
(5 stars on Goodreads)
