Book Club

Our next book will be Baking Cakes in Kigali by Gaile Parkin, with meeting to be held by zoom on Monday Dec 16 at 7:00.  The author was born and raised in Zambia, has worked in South Africa and Rwanda, and has written textbooks and children’s books in addition to her writing for adults.  The book centers on a Tanzanian woman who has moved her family to Rwanda, and on her extended family and friends and the baking business that she develops to help to support them.  Femina (South Africa) calls it “A wonderful, life-affirming novel…a funny, charming read filled with both the sadness and joy of Africa.”  The FF International book club is reading this for their December meeting.
