Keeping the House by Tice Cin

Description

Cabbages... The Turkish variety are prized for their enlarged leaf bud, that's where we put the heroin...

There's a stash of heroin waiting to be imported, and no one seems sure what to do with it... But Ayla's a gardener, and she has a plan.

Offering a fresh and funny take on the machinery of North London heroin trade, Keeping The House lifts the lid on a covert world thriving just beneath notice: not only in McDonald's queues and men's clubs, but in spotless living rooms and whispering kitchens. Spanning three generations, this is the story of women who keep their family—and their family business—afloat, juggling everything from police surveillance to trickier questions of community, belonging and love.
