Publisher's Synopsis
What goes on behind closed doors? 'Hows Your Father' tells the story of four generations of one Hackney family on a rollercoaster ride of drugs, violence, infidelity and the redeeming joys of motherhood. Based on Rose Boyt's time living in a hostel in Hoxton when she was a teenager and her relationship with a few of the local families; this is her attempt to imagine their stories and to invent for the women a voice. Refreshing the kitchen-sink genre and using a studied local East London patois, Rose Boyt leads us through one family's sprawling, messy and fragile everyday life on an operatic scale.
