“Whiplash digs its nails into you from the word go… raw, tender, laugh-out-loud funny, a kick-arse gem of a book. Told with a startling poetry in the grittiest of emotional landscapes, Whiplash puts Farren on the map as a wordsmith of astonishing talent.”
– Joanne Fedler
“Tracey Farren’s debut novel is going to hit you between the eyes!
Ex-journalist now full time writer, Farren has approached this novel in a quirky and unforgettable style. Raw, gritty, funny and with a rhythm that takes you from the staccato edges of prose to the poetry of an exotic rainbow, this is a story that takes you on a journey from soul destroying horror to spiritual awakening.”
