Great quotes. First, I love that the main character Angel, the cake maker, is going through the “change.” The doctor asked Angel if she‘s flashing! Poor Angel she‘s flashing all the time. I feel for her!
And second, don‘t you just love the name Dr Rejoice?

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

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!
