ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson is a novel that explores themes of identity, family secrets, and reconciliation. The story begins with the death of Eleanor Bennett, who leaves behind a mysterious black cake and a recording for her two children, Byron and Benny. In the recording, Eleanor reveals long-held secrets about her past, including her true identity as Coventina Lyncook, a runaway bride from a Caribbean island. As Byron and Benny listen to their mother's story, they uncover a web of hidden relationships, shocking revelations, and a sister they never knew existed. The siblings must grapple with these newfound truths while confronting their own personal struggles and strained relationship. The black cake, a traditional Caribbean dessert, becomes a symbol of their shared heritage and the untold narrative of their family.
