Trade ReviewRay Robinson's
Electricity is a thorny, uncompromising novel, with attitude. It is also -- thanks to Lily O'Connor, its sharp-edged, hard-living, tough-talking narrator -- mesmerising, uplifting and unexpectedly tender -- Jim Crace, Booker-shortlisted author of HARVEST
An energetic debut, bristling with talent . . . It's black, savage, funny and rather uncomfortably haunting * The Times *
An eviscerating debut novel . . . Its fast, furious plot, kaleidoscopic imagery, blunt observations and a wry, ingenuous, hugely compassionate heroine make Electricity a breathtaking assault on the senses * Guardian *
This visceral debut novel is narrated by Lily O'Connor, a darkly defiant 30-year-old epileptic whose life is punctuated by violent seizures. Robinson chronicles her desperate pursuit of her brother, Mickey, from Blackpool to London with a visual language so vivid you're steamrollered right into their subterranean world. * Vogue *
