Once in a great while, a debut novelist dazzles us with rare eloquence and humanity, taking us to bold new places and into previously unimaginable lives. Gaile Parkin is such a talent, and her novel introduces us to a singular and engaging character: Angel Tungaraza—mother, cake baker, and keeper of secrets. Living on the edge of chaos in modern-day Rwanda, Angel finds ways to transform lives and create hope amid the madness surrounding her. She runs a bustling cake business, crafting vibrant, buttery creations that deliver a unique sense of hope. In her kitchen, a CIA agent’s wife seeks the perfect holiday cake and leaves with something sweeter, while a former boy-soldier shares an enthralling story over tea as he orders an engagement cake. Weary human rights workers and lovesick limo drivers also find solace in Angel's oasis. Amid the cacophony of native tongues, love affairs, and confessions, Angel's kitchen becomes a haven where secrets are shared and hope flourishes. As unexpected events unfold—a most unusual wedding is planned, a heartbreaking family mystery unravels—extraordinary connections are formed among those who have tasted Angel’s beautiful cakes. This chain of events will change Angel’s life and the lives of those around her in astonishing ways.
