À propos de ce produit

Product Information

On the eve of her ninth birthday, unassuming Rose Edelstein bites into her mother's homemade lemon-chocolate cake and discovers she has a magical gift: she can taste her mother's emotions in the slice. To her horror, she finds that her cheerful mother tastes of despair. Soon, she's privy to the secret knowledge that most families keep hidden: her father's detachment, her mother's transgression, her brother's increasing retreat from the world. But there are some family secrets that even her cursed taste buds can't discern.

Reviews
"Odd and oddly beautiful....moving"--The Washington Post "Haunting....Bender's prose delivers electric shocks....rendering the world in fresh, unexpected jolts. Moving, fanciful and gorgeously strange"--People Magazine "Charming and wistful....[Bender] harness[es] her exquisite, bizarre sensitivity, in this haunting examination"--The Atlantic Bender is the master of quiet hysteria....She builds pressure sentence by sentence.....the crippling power of empathy"--Los Angeles Times "[A] transformative narrative....powerful"--San Francisco Chronicle "Extraordinary.... a complicated novel with significant emotional heft....The delicacy with which Bender captures Rosers"s tastes makes this not just a deeply felt novel but one of the most inventive pieces of food writing in recent memory."--Time Out New York"The fairy-tale elements in her writing, far from seeming outlandish, highlight the everyday nature of her characters' flaws and struggles. In Ms. Bender's stories and novels, relationships and mundane activities take on mythic qualities."--Wall Street Journal"Bender has guts,,,,Rose is an irresistible narrator: warm, witty and sharply observant....quirky, unpredictable voices will surprise and entertain readers....a superb stylist. While acknowledging the dark, she maintains an exuberant, life-affirming attitude."--Miami Herald "Plenty of plot surprise, as well as numerous insights into character....beauty of the author's prose, which is both straighforward and unusually sensuous....my guess is that this novel will be one of the year's highlights. Intense and compelling, it explores familial love in an unusually idiosyncratic but nonetheless convincing manner, and I find that I'm still thinking about Rose [the novel's protagonist] days after finishing the book."--Portland Oregonian "Dreamy....Playful prose....one of the most pleasant books we've read all year"--New York Observer"A funny, haunting, hurting, coming-of-age story"--Christian Science Monitor "Original and revealing....unique style--part magic, part clean prose"--Denver Post "[Bender is] a treasure: a modern fabulist drawn equally to the magic and the realities of contemporary life.....gets the details right....rich and fully alive"--Philadelphia City Paper"Bender is exceptionally good at what she does.....simultaneously appealing to imagination, emotion, and intellect....the power of her writing lies in the contrast between her spare, measured sentences, and the limitless metaphorical possibilities those sentences describe."---Portland Mercury "Bender spins this tale of magical realism with her familiar darkness....haunting....sticks with the reader long past the final page....moments of quiet brilliance"--Wisconsin State Journal "One has to admire Bender's originality and her ability to produce stories that make one grateful fro being ordinary."--Detroit Free Press "[Bender] writes sentences that make the senses take flight....wonderfully strange....dazzling and remarkably precise, both sensual and exacting....makes reality itself magical"--The Courier-Journal "wacky stew of alienation and contradiction....unraveling family secrets as strangely lucid as they are nightmarish. At its core, Aimee Bender's novelThe Particular Sadness of Lemon Cakeencourages us all to make the most of our unique gifts while still finding a way to live in the so-called real world"--O, The Oprah Magazine "Bender's writing is deep and textured"--Star Tribune "High-hearted and soulful.... weaves elaborate surreal elements....sets up her central metaphor brilliantly"-- NPR.org "Taking her very personal brand of pessimistic magical realism to new heights (or
