    'Hilarious and poignant, a rock ’n' roll love story about a woman seeking her own place in a cock-centric industry. A stylish ride through band-life, written by a woman well-versed in music's tricks and secrets....’ Emma Jane Unsworth - bestselling author of Animals and Hungry, The Stars & Everything.


    "Shine on, Marquee Moon is everything you'd expect from Zoë Howe: warm, wry, evocative and unconventional. This is an author who knows the idiosyncrasies of the music business and captures them all with candour and affection in a novel that is funny, fierce and better than most comeback tours.” Jane Bradley, founder and director of For Books’ Sake.


    "Tangled romance, ripe idiocy, monstrous self-delusion and 'that familiar backstage smell - hairspray, sweat, alcohol, dust burning on lightbulbs' ... Zoë Howe's crackling account of life around a rock band is fast, funny and superbly well-observed" - Mark Ellen, renowned music journalist and editor (Smash Hits, The Word, Select, Mojo, Q), broadcaster and author of Rock Stars Stole My Life


    'Heroin, and a fine heroine - Zoë Howe knows exactly how it'll pan out. Classic, clever, funny tale of what happens in the covens around those all boy-clubs of bands…’ Kirsty Allison, founder and editor of Cold Lips, books/arts editor DJ Magazine


    'A great story, full of sharp and funny observations. Someone needs to form a Concierge tribute band.’ Gideon Coe, BBC 6Music


    'Funny! And a bit freaky.' Wilko Johnson

    ‘Zoë Howe is one of our favourite music writers – a great writer who is in love with rock 'n' roll and can make the essence and magic of the dark stuff seem so alive…’ John Robb, Louder Than War
