Críticas
"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)
