Aimee Bender
Eating the cake her mother has prepared for her ninth birthday, Rose Edelstein discovers she has a gift: she can taste her mother鈥檚 emotions in the food she prepares. Soon, every bite Rose takes is filled with feelings鈥攏ot just her mother鈥檚 but those of other people as well鈥攁nd what might have been a gift becomes a burden and then, perhaps, a curse. Because this is a novel rooted in family, Rose will learn that she is not the only Edelstein with a peculiar gift or burden. How she and others learn to cope鈥攐r not, as the case may be鈥攊s the small, sad story Rose shares. Bender鈥檚 earlier work has often been described as surrealistic; however, this novel seems more informed by a kind of magical realism that struggles with transformation and sometimes鈥攆leetingly鈥攕ucceeds, as in the case of the novel鈥檚 vividly realized Los Angeles setting. But the effect soon fades, and the reader is left only with a lingering feeling of emptiness and the realization that sadness tastes a lot like bitterness.
