Crazy

‘Stunning … it almost feels transgressive’ Anthony Cummins, Daily Mail

‘One of the most startling novels I’ve read this year’ Frances Wilson, TLS

‘This book is brilliant - brave, truthful and intelligent’ Wendy Cope

‘I will break him; he will break me, and when we are broken, we will be even, and then we can be put back together again’

Jane has been accustomed to clever, undemonstrative men. So when, as a young woman, she meets Ardu, she is instantly bewitched by his intellect and detachment. What starts as a crush turns into something far darker, an all-consuming obsession, from which, years later, she is still reeling.

Crazy is a work of autofiction, a startling story of obsessive love, addiction, motherhood and work. It is a reckoning with fiction and with truth: how these things play out on the body; what it takes for a woman to write out her own life.
