The Wrong Cake and other stories [EPUB ebook] 

For all those who have ever been curious about their neighbours…
Things are not as they first appear in these 17 well observed tales of everyday life.
A rich cast of characters includes a man incarcerated by his own rubbish; an inventor aiming high with unintended consequences; a cook with a secret; a woman who will do anything to hang on to her privileged lifestyle; and some older ladies who don’t always play by everyone else’s rules… Not forgetting a cat who is almost human.
