Crusaders review in Independent on Sunday (Joel Rickett)

Crusaders is a powerful, assured literary debut that will create loyal congregations of devoted followers... Kelly’s seriousness of intent and direct moral interrogation call to mind contemporary American giants Roth and Mailer. As does the panoramic sweep: rather than Brooklyn warehouses, the backdrop to Crusaders is the scarred mines, skeletal steel arches and rising call-centre blocks of North-east England.’
