Tice Cin has arrived. With a style all her own and a confidence that radiates off each page, poetry that renders settings and characters incredibly vivid. No impression will escape you. Derek Owusu
Thrums with feeling, illustrating the London community with a sharp and confident eye. Her characters are full and sure, and traverse their world with humour, boldness and love. Hope fills these pages. Caleb Azumah Nelson
Cabbages . . . The Turkish variety are prized for their enlarged leaf bud, thats where we put the heroin . . .
Theres a stash of heroin waiting to be imported, and no one seems sure what to do with it . . . But Aylas a gardener, and she has a plan.
Offering a fresh and funny take on the machinery of the North London heroin trade, Keeping the House lifts the lid on a covert world thriving just beneath notice: not only in McDonalds queues and mens clubs, but in spotless living rooms and whispering kitchens. Spanning three generations, this is the story of the women who keep their family and their family business afloat, juggling everything from police surveillance to trickier questions of community, belonging and love.
Great for fans of Zadie Smith, Monica Ali and Brit Bennett.
