Review:
''A suspenseful, restorative novel from one of our fine young voices.'' --Colum McCann, National Book Award-winning author
''In Heft, Liz Moore creates a cast of vulnerable, lonely misfits that will break your heart and then make it soar. What a terrific novel!'' --Ann Hood, bestselling author of The Red Thread
''This is the real deal, Liz Moore is the real deal--she's written a novel that will stick with you long after you've finished it.'' --Russell Banks, Pulitzer Prize finalist
''Heft is a work that radiantly combines compassion and a clear-eyed vision. This is a novel of rare originality and sophistication.'' --Mary Gordon, New York Times bestselling author
''Only a hardhearted reader will remain immune to Kel's troubled charm.'' --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
''The last line of Liz Moore's novel is still rounding through my head weeks after I finished it, and I think it will be for a long time. Heft is a gorgeous book that will completely break your heart and then stitch it back together . . . This is one of those rare books that manages to be deeply and genuinely moving without ever sinking into sappiness, and I will be recommending it far and wide, particularly to book groups. There is nothing I love more than spreading the word about a beautiful novel, and I look forward to doing so with Heft.'' --Publishers Weekly
''Moore's lovely novel is about overcoming shame and loneliness and learning to connect. It is life-affirming but never sappy.'' --Library Journal
''Endearing.'' --Booklist (starred review)
