Reviews
"An absolute must-read; tough, in your face, and pulls no punches" -- Melvin Burgess
"This story of loss, loyalty and fighting for who you need to be is yet another slice of pure dead brilliance from Brian Conaghan. The writing is breathtakingly powerful. The emotion is deep and raw. It's a book as grim as it is gorgeous" -- Keith Gray
"Uncompromising... Treacle Town is a powerful depiction of dead-end lives, along with its protagonist's conflicting desires to escape" * The Herald *
"an absorbing and disturbing novel" * Books for Keeps *
