The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender

Vacation Read

How much of ourselves do we put into the things we create?  Do we leave emotional DNA within objects that others could tap into?  Would you want to see, taste or feel those emotions of others or of your unconscious self?  I enjoyed this quirky read (though I struggled with the brother, Joseph) and found that it gives the reader something to think about in the topical agenda of "where does our food come from", and in a deeper question of how we feel and how we may be sharing those feelings with others, even when we are unaware of doing so.
