Women's Fiction
Reminiscent of early Roddy Doyle, Tony Hogan Bought Me an
Ice-Cream Float Before He Stole My Ma begins with our
singular heroine’s less than idyllic birth and quickly moves
to a spectacular fight that lands Janie and her mother in a
local women’s shelter. From there it’s on to a dodgy council
flat and a succession of unsuitable men, including the
hard-drinking, drug-dealing, ice-cream-buying Tony Hogan.
Kerry Hudson’s arrestingly original debut will enthrall
readers with Janie’s tragicomic and moving story about
coming of age in a non-traditional family amid the
absurdities of the 1980s and Thatcherite Britain.
