What book are you reading atm?? CHAPTER TWO

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.

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.

The Unwanted dead by Chris Lloyd. Crime novel set in Nazi-occupied Paris.

This is first book in a series and I've already ready the follow up.
