Heft is an understated yet intensely emotional work. * Financial Times * A gentle fiction, as big-hearted as its 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 Moores 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 * Heat *
