Sicily, 2010.
Sophia, on the cusp of adulthood, spends a long hot summer with her father, a successful author.
Over the course of that holiday, their relationship will fracture.
London, 2020.
Sophia’s father, now 61, sits in a large theatre, surrounded by strangers, watching his daughter’s first play.
A play that takes that Sicilian holiday as its subject and will force him to watch his purported crimes re-enacted.
‘Like Edward St Aubyn and Anne Enright, Hamya is so good on generational conflict, the friction of family, and the damage done by charming but complacent men’ – David Nicholls
‘A slippery, excellent exploration of sexual politics, creative appropriation, and family dynamics . . . It lands its ending with all the force of a sharp knife hurled at a bullseye’ – Vanity Fair
‘Brilliant…With a precision of language that ought to make Hamya’s contemporaries quake and a tenderness you don’t see coming’ – Atlantic
