- Summary:
-
"Hoods is a story of poverty, domestic violence and isolation set against the backdrop of a suburban landscape. The premise is simple and immediate. As night falls, Kyle and Jessie wait in a car for their mother while nursing their crying baby brother. As glimpsed fleetingly through the car window, the action masterfully switches perspective from the two children to a multitude of characters from their lives, often at breakneck speed. Time and space are manipulated and unravelled to reveal potential sources of hope: the children's grandmother or Jessie's favourite teacher are juxtaposed dramatically with real threats of danger, including the advances of a predatory stranger in a twenty-four-hour convenience store." -- Foreword.
