Book Review of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake

The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake

At the beginning I thought this was a great book with a little supernatural to it due to the little girl's ability to taste the feelings that the person cooking has while they are making what she eats. What started with an interesting tale of a very dysfunctional family went downhill fast. I still don't know what "special skills" her brother had and there were quite a few bits that I just didn't get, so maybe others could enjoy the dysfunction in this one - instead I was lost in it all.
