What book are you reading atm?? CHAPTER TWO

AMTE_21

Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson. A story about a young girl growing up in the Caribbean who along with her best friend discovers sea swimming long distances, but their plans are upended when she is coerced into marrying an older man, but on her wedding day tragedy strikes and she has to flee her home staging her death. It was told in flashback with a recording to her children she makes when she knows she’s dying. There is a whole different life their mother and father lived they never knew about. A nice read. Black Cake refers to, I think, a cake similar to a fruit cake or wedding cake that is threaded through the story.

Re reading Captain Corelli's mandolin book is way better then the film.

Sgt Hartman

Juliette by The Marquis de Sade on Kindle. It’s mainly a mixture of hardcore sex orgies involving lots of anal, and rambling philosophical arguments for the promotion of atheism, selfishness and sociopathic behaviour. The man was pretty much the P Diddy of his day.
