Baking Cakes in Kigali was a
pleasant surprise. It is quite admirable
to read books with intricate story lines and plots weaving in and out, up and
down, east to west and the like. I am always left in awe when I read such books…in
awe of the authors’ obviously intelligent and highly complex mind.
This book is not one of those. Rather,
it is a series of stories all centred around one woman who is …you guessed it….Baking
cakes in Kigali. The stories are simple, every day stories. The characters in the
book, every day characters. People you know…have met…probably live with. People
like yourself.
In my opinion, it takes an even
more brilliant mind to tell stories simply... with no bells and whistles. To tell
them as they are without any spins, twists & cartwheels yet still managing
to keep the interest of the reader.
Brilliance sometimes comes dressed in simple attire.
