Overview
A wry, heartfelt novel about the complicated revelations that surface when a family comes home for Christmas, shortlisted for New Zealand's premier literary prize.
“Quirky and playful, with a gently self-deprecating Kiwi humour and a dash of romantic sizzle. A delightful comfort read that's full of heart.” —Scorpio Books
In the rural reaches of Auckland, the women of the Gordon family gather for Christmas. They may drive each other to distraction, but they also know exactly when to offer a cup of tea, a stiff drink or a shoulder to lean on.
Rita, the 50-year-old baby of the family, has arrived with news she can no longer avoid sharing: she has cancer. As the holiday unfolds, she drifts between past and present, reflecting on the lives of the women who came before her and the community that shaped them. Through memories, stories and old grievances, she reckons with what her diagnosis means for the people she loves.
Featuring elderly lesbians, twins who aren't twins, and several dogs named Roger, Hoods Landing is a warm, darkly funny novel about shoddy pasts, uncertain futures and the imperfect bonds that hold families together.
Alive with queer romance, unforgettable characters, and sharply observed domestic detail, this acclaimed debut was shortlisted for the Jann Medlicott Acorn Prize for Fiction, New Zealand's premier literary award, and became a word-of-mouth sensation for its rare blend of tenderness and hard-won hope.
