Angel 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

This was a real joy to read. He even managed to find a good story about cake! Even though this is nonfiction, it explains the desperate need for fiction, especially literary fiction, to the wellbeing of humanity. Definitely worth reading in 2025 America. Seriously, this is a cheery, encouraging, and engaging explanation of everything we‘re getting wrong and how to fix it.

GingerAntics It even includes the morning he woke up expecting to read about America‘s first female president and woke up feeling horrible for America. It‘s so fitting. 5d

A minor ode to cake. For a book about happiness, it makes you happy to just sit and read (or even better, listen to). The author is a delight to listen to as he reads his own words, especially when he talks about cake. My only complaint is that it ended too soon. 🎂🍰🧁🥮🧡🧡

GingerAntics @5feet.of.fury pretty much… of course it sounds different when a native English speaker says those sounds together and when a Danish or Norwegian native speaker says them. The emphasis is on the OO and the a is almost a ghost of a sound, but yeah. 2w

Visiting with my kids in Halifax and had coffee at the most adorable new spot, Crème. The high tea menus were in the books- see The Scarlet Letter pic- and when you opened the book, a butterfly flew out. Such a pretty spot and the desserts were yummy!
