Tice Cin’s ‘Keeping the House’ explores the frenetic undercurrents of North London’s neighbourhoods Tottenham and Green Lanes. Somewhere between Portrait of a Turkish Family by Ifran Olga and Caleb Femi’s POOR, Cin’s natural poetry and the unique rhythm of her storytelling weave a spellbinding narrative through several generations of Turkish Cypriot family. Cin reveals the secrets of her native Cypriot language and its culture to the reader as they explore the family homes, parks, fruit stores and back streets of one of London’s most vibrant and fascinating communities — a captivating read from a powerful new voice!
