Unconventional friendships unravel life's plans over cake.

This book is a heartwarming exploration of the power of unexpected friendships and the ways in which they can challenge and transform our lives. Through the shared love of cake, the protagonist's carefully structured existence is turned upside down, resulting in a journey of self-discovery and the meaning of sacrifice. Impractical Uses of Cake reminds us that sometimes the sweetest connections are found in the most unexpected places.

Look inside the bookGet the E-book    Listen to the audiobook
Sukhin is a thirty-five-year-old teacher who lives alone. His life consists of reading, working and visiting his parents’ to rearrange his piles of “collectibles”. He has only one friend, another teacher who has managed to force Sukhin into a friendship by sheer doggedness.
While on an errand one afternoon in Chinatown, he encounters a homeless person who recognises him. This chance reunion turns Sukhin’s well-planned life upside down, and the pair learns about love and sacrifice over their shared fondness for cake.
