A Cupboard Full of Coats by Yvvette Edwards
3.0
I enjoyed reading this novel, with themes of loss, grief, forgiveness and how to love. The writing is lush and witty.
Descriptions of meals and how to prepare them was an added value and the discussion of the different shades of brown skin and its connection to beauty gave me an insight into a completely unknown realm.
I have one big issue with the book though: the fact that a 30+ year old man took the virginity of a sixteen year old girl in a one night stand. It was not in any way discussed that he was doing something wrong. The whole act was mentioned by the way and that bothers me.
