Review:
"A long book, and an absorbing one... never boring... Kelly has written a bold novel, well worth quarrelling with... " -- Sean O'Brien, Times Literary Supplement, January 18 2008
"Refreshingly ambitious and strikingly accomplished... Kelly has an acute eye... he chronicles the metamorphoses of Tyneside with exceptional skill." -- John Gray, The Independent, January 18 2008
"The most impressive, most important literary debut in yonks... Dostoyevskian in scale and ambition... leaves you swooning with admiration..."
-- Ian Ramsay, Tatler, February 1 2008
'A big, generous fiction... what really impresses is [Kelly's] ease with his characters and their milieu. A novelist to watch.' -- Andrew Holgate, The Sunday Times, December 30 2007
`A Dostoyevskian doorstopper... with an almost Tolstoyan seriousness of purpose... A weighty achievement... its long, complex narrative is impressively sustained.' -- Alfred Hickling, The Guardian, January 5 2008
`A powerful, assured literary arrival that will create loyal congregations of devoted followers... darkly humorous... reaches a thrilling crescendo.' -- Joel Rickett, The Independent on Sunday, January 6 2008
`Magnificent... [Kelly] has a pitch-perfect ear for dialogue, an empathy with "ordinary" lives and a special ability to convey menace.' -- Adrian Turpin, Financial Times, January 12, 2008
