**Bücher Baking Cakes in Kigali** by Gaile Parkin is a heartwarming and poignant novel that centers around the extraordinary life of Angel Tungaraza. Here's a description: * **Title:** Baking Cakes in Kigali * **Author:** Gaile Parkin * **Genre:** Fiction **Description:** "Baking Cakes in Kigali" introduces us to Angel Tungaraza, a sixty-something Tanzanian woman living in Kigali, Rwanda, with her diplomat husband and a sprawling, multi-ethnic family, including several adopted children. Angel is not just a baker; she is an unofficial counselor, confidante, and sage of her community. Her unique gift and passion is baking custom-ordered cakes for every imaginable occasion: from births, baptisms, and graduations to weddings, funerals, and even reconciliation ceremonies. Each cake tells a story, and through these orders, Angel becomes intimately involved in the lives, joys, sorrows, and secrets of her diverse clientele. From the expatriate community to local Rwandans, people rely on Angel's wisdom and her delicious creations to mark significant life events. Set in the vibrant, post-genocide landscape of Kigali, the novel offers a rich tapestry of Rwandan society, observed through Angel's insightful and often humorous perspective. While not explicitly about the genocide, its echoes are present in the resilience, healing, and hope of the community. Angel, with her no-nonsense attitude, boundless energy, and deep understanding of human nature, navigates the complexities of her world with grace and an infectious spirit. The book is a celebration of life, family (both biological and chosen), community, and the power of human connection. It's filled with warmth, humor, and a deep affection for its characters and setting, offering readers a unique glimpse into the heart of Kigali through the eyes of its most beloved baker. --- * **Publisher:** Corvus (an imprint of Atlantic Books) * **ISBN:** 978-18488702 |
