“Last year I read Tice Cin’s debut novel, Keeping the House, a beautiful, evocative and tender portrayal of Turkish-Cypriot family and community in north London. It follows a range of characters as they navigate the aches and joys of their city. From familial love and loss to the drug trade and PTSD, there is richness and a soulfulness in her writing. What struck me was the way Tice was so seamlessly able to break conventional narrative structure. The boldness to do so was rewarded with a novel that gradually unspools, bringing you into the centre of these written lives. I’m really excited about Tice’s career and what she will write next.”
