Reviews

"A unique concoction, full of beautiful lies and ecstatic truths - one of the finest music books in aeons"

Kevin Barry on Ten Thousand Apologies

"[Her] writing has a rare verve… It's got style and warmth and made me cry. I loved this rock and roll spirit coming out of smalltown Yorkshire."

Amy Liptrot on Base Notes: The Scents of a Life

"Black Teeth and a Brilliant Smile is one of the great debut novels of the century, and one of my very favourite books ever"

David Peace, author of The Damned United 

"It fizzes like two Disprin in a pint of cider. You can read it in an afternoon and should; there are too few British novels as effervescent and as relevant as this"

Andy Miller on Black Teeth and a Brilliant Smile for The Spectator

"Funny, eloquent and self-deprecating"

Wendy Erskine, The Irish Times

"Hilarious and heartbreaking"

Mark Lanegan, Big Issue

"Harsh yet beautifully wrought"
