'Keeping the House is such a bold and yet poignant read: musical, nimble, affectionate and (thank GOD) rule-breaking' --Lisa McInerney
'Written with immediacy and poignancy, this is a powerful debut from an exciting and compelling new voice, I loved it' --Salena Godden
'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
'Lyrical, memorable, pulsing with life, energy and sensation. I so admired its polyphonic ambitions and evocation of place--not to mention love. Her writing sticks in the mind like a thumbprint on glass' --Olivia Sudjic
'Thrums with feeling, illustrating the London community with a sharp and confident eye. Her characters are full and sure, and traverse their world with humor, boldness and love. Hope fills these pages' --Caleb Azumah Nelson
'A brilliantly enthralling read. Tice Cin's potent crime caper marks the arrival of an intoxicating new voice' --Irenosen Okojie
'A beautiful novel--forgiving, meandering and sexy. Tice Cin makes prose ooze and breathe and cook. Her multilingual Tottenham Turkish-Cypriot characters are real people to me now. I love Damla, Cemile and Ayla very much' --Yara Rodrigues Fowler
'Tice Cin is an enthralling voice' --Roger Robinson
'Tice Cin's voice is so compelling and utterly original, and her book is a thing of beauty and craft, both soft and sharp. It envelops you then gives you a gut punch. An essentially London novel' --Cecilia Knapp
'There's always been a poetic, dream-like wonder to Tice's writing. No detail goes unnoticed, unexamined. You see all the tiniest details through her eyes and her words--it's a beautiful gift' --Michelle Tiwo
'An intoxicating rush of language--and languages--funny, grimy (in all senses), and driven by a fierce energy, Keeping The House holds a deep sadness at its core, but never allows it to overwhelm us, instead finding beauty in balance' --Will Ashon
'Keeping the House is a thrilling debut by a bold new talent: sparkling, polyphonic, and bristling with linguistic energy. Tice Cin has somehow fused experimental writing, crime fiction and the family saga together, while coolly inaugurating the London Turkish novel' --Matthew Sperling
'A deft and dynamic debut flushed with unforgettable characters alongside an intimate sense of community. Tice Cin charts the complexities of inner-city and diasporic life, morality and relationships through a gripping network of twists and turns in a wholly unique way. I thought I knew what North London was about, I realised after reading this I didn't' ----Anthony Anaxagorou
Bookseller quotes:
'A bold and assured debut that rethinks what a crime novel can be' --Ollie Simpson, Pages of Hackney
'Tice Cin fuses wild lyricism with dreamy romance in a form as voracious and alive as her characters' --So Mayer, Burley Fisher Books
'A swirling collage of a novel that explores the dark side of a London community with great energy and warmth' --Kate Ellis, Brick Lane Bookshop
'The Great Tottenham Novel exists and it's called Keeping the House. I loved it' --Gary Perry, Foyles
'Cin's natural poetry and the unique rhythm of her storytelling weave a spellbinding narrative through several generations of a Turkish Cypriot family. A captivating read from a powerful new voice!' ----Antony Hurley, Burley Fisher Books
