Items related to Cake
Fleeing to London from the spectacular collapse of her family, Tanya builds a business and begins finally to conquer her addiction to sex. Then the gorgeous, chaotic, ex-prostitute Eleanor enters her life and her home. El is an addict with a history of violence - and possibly a great artist. And sex with a woman can't be sex addiction, can it?
Tanya decides that what El needs is a safe haven. It is a decision she comes to regret because, in Sandra Newman's rollercoaster world, murder begins at home.

Review:
Spare, challenging and ultimately devastating with characters who will take your heart, break it, and feed it back to you on a stick. Reading Cake was as compulsive as an all-nighter with a new lover. Easily the best new book I've read this year. (Belle De Jour)
It is tremendously exciting to read Sandra Newman's work; I read Cake in one sitting and thought it was wonderful. Here is a writer prepared to take risks, who takes nothing for granted and who pushes the form to create an extraordinary and forgettable world. Oh, and she's very funny too. (Clare Allan)
