Crusaders review in Scotland On Sunday (Stuart Kelly)

‘The weight of hype can be unbearable. Try this: ‘Crusaders is the Great British Novel of this decade...’ [from David Peace]. Yet the measure of Kelly’s talent is surely this – that once you begin, his story obliterates that hype – its narrative force and the drive of its characters (even the bit parts), so sharply realised as to be utterly engrossing.’
