June’s Book Selection is going to be delicious🍴

Title: The Summer I Ate the Rich

Authors: Maika Moulite & Maritza Moulite

Genre: Horror, Urban Fantasy, Magic Realist Satire

During our Summer months, we opt for discussion threads vs meetings. Stay tuned in the Bookclubs app to chat about this read!

Synopsis: Brielle Petitfour loves to cook. But with a chronically sick mother and bills to pay, becoming a chef isn’t exactly a realistic career path.

When Brielle’s mom suddenly loses her job, Brielle steps in and uses her culinary skills to earn some extra money. The rich families who love her cooking praise her use of unique flavors and textures, which keep everyone guessing what’s in Brielle’s dishes. The secret ingredient? Human flesh.

Written by the storytelling duo Maika Moulite and Maritza Moulite, The Summer I Ate the Rich is a modern-day fable inspired by Haitian zombie lore that scrutinizes the socioeconomic and racial inequity that is the foundation of our society. Just like Brielle’s clients, it will have you asking: What’s for dinner?
