How'S Your Father by Rose Boyt

Sometimes there is just not enough love to go round...Maureen's family is a blessing and a curse. Her mother did her best but everyone is still fighting for survival at the expense of their loved ones. Susan thinks her aunt is her sister. Nobody has seen Sandra's Kelly since Alan stashed a pound weight of drugs in his mum's kitchen. Mum wins the lottery but little Billy comes first, no question. He needs help. It is too late now for the old man. Maureen is afraid he will die before she has finished hating him. With compassion and dark humour, this gripping novel celebrates life and death in the London borough of Hackney - and everything in between.

How'S Your Father Reviews

"Rose's book is a tour de force, a sustained piece of brilliant writing... harrowing, funny, heart-breaking and ultimately, despite its bleakness, a celebration of the human spirit." - Shena Mackay, author of Heligoland "Brilliant... I read it with sustained delight and admiration." - Francis Wyndham "Rose Boyt writes with a vivid physical immediacy that can take the breath away. She is an original, with her own strange magic." - The Independent "Boyt's language is poetic; her descriptions are vivid, often painful but always lively." - Publishers Weekly "There's a sensual, pictorial clarity to Ms. Boyt's writing." - The New York Times
