pickAngel is in Rwanda after the genocide while her husband works at the university. She raises her grandchildren and bakes cakes for events in order to make money. The tough topics of genocide and AIDS are not glossed over in this book, but it is full of hope and the power people have when they work together. A book I would have never read if it weren‘t for #FoodAndLit #Rwanda
It‘s starting to feel like summer (although the weather says winter again next week.) Not my cat and I will enjoy it while it lasts.
“We are Catholics,” explained Angel, “but in Rwanda we‘re simply Christians. I‘m nervous of attending just one church here, of listening to just one priest. Because how can we know what is in the priest‘s heart after so many showed that love and peace were only words in their mouths?” #FoodAndLit #Rwanda
pickI just love Jenny Colgan books when I‘m having a tough time 💕this one was warm & sweet with just enough difficulty for the characters
I think what I like the most about her books is the way she creates cinematic moments 🫶 & books with characters that like to read, knit, & bake just make me really happy 🥐🧶📚
Personally, I'd pay more attention to the second option lol
