A stunningly sad and heroically hopeful tale ... This is a beautiful novel about relationships of the most makeshift kind.
O, The Oprah Magazine
Full of surprises and love and healing, Heft is the most unsentimental sentimental journey you will read this year.
The Times
Heft is written with a dry wit and the characters are hugely likeable … It’s moving and tragic too.
Daily Mail
Nuanced and poignant… each of the three acutely written principals of Moore’s second novel hooks the reader in a heartbeat. Heft is an understated yet intensely emotional work.
Financial Times
A gentle fiction, as big-hearted as it’s star is heavy.
Vogue
Heft is a suspenseful, restorative novel from one of our fine young voices
Colum McCann, author of Let the Great World Spin
Moore’s characters are lovingly drawn . . . A truly original voice.
The New Yorker
Liz Moore has a light touch… she never takes her characters too seriously, letting their drama and sadness trickle through slowly rather than undamming any torrent of emotion or sentimentality. This knack is largely down to her seemingly effortless, economic prose as well as her appreciation of the notion of loneliness.
Time Out
A book to be devoured
