The Hypocrite
Jo Hamya
Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. The Hypocrite by Jo Hamya explores the themes of sex and gender through the relationship between a father and daughter, whose relationship fractures during one summer in Sicily.
What We Say: “Set between London and Sicily, this story centres around Sophia, a young playwright, turning her father's past mistakes into a critically acclaimed play, exposing the generational and moral conflicts between them. This book seamlessly shifts through time and examines the complexities of empathy” - Pia Brynteson
What They Say: “I thought The Hypocrite was brilliant. Thrilling and unpredictable, as a story of misunderstanding and failed connection, told with a dreamy, Sofia Coppola-esque quality. As a portrayal of artistic creation fuelled by bitterness, The Hypocrite uncovers an uncomfortable truth: how a piece of art can both unify and alienate” - Natasha Brown
