Black Cake Audiobook by Charmaine Wilkerson

Narrated by Lynnette R. Freeman and Simone Mcintyre12 hr 2 min

Charmaine Wilkerson's debut Black Cake opens with a death, a recipe, and a voice recording, then spirals out into a multigenerational family saga that moves from a Caribbean island to California. It's a tender, slow-burning story about inheritance — of secrets, names, and grief — for readers who love character-driven fiction and book-club novels with real emotional weight.

On audio, Lynnette R. Freeman and Simone Mcintyre narrate all 12 hr 2 min of Black Cake — made for headphones on a long walk or a longer drive.
