'Fierce, furious and heartfelt, Howell's The Crazy Truth explodes from the page with a rawness and a freshness that sucks the reader in. She's a writer unafraid to take risks, and every page of this remarkable debut novel rings with the sharpness of her prose; the truth of her characters.'
Carly Holmes, author of Crow Face, Doll Face.

'An important and urgent piece of writing - vivid, visceral, gut-punching - like nothing you've ever read. [Written] so vividly and cinematically ... Some sentences will stay with me -  the epiphanies spreading out like sea anemones ... oof - and the brutal descriptions of birth!'
Fflur Dafydd, author of The Library Suicides. 

'An unflinching depiction of working class experiences within a post-industrial landscape, The Crazy Truth is an artwork that pounds the senses with every beat. At its centre is Girlo, a 'warman', whose story we urgently need to hear. I loved it.'
Elaine Canning, author of The Sandstone City.
