February by Lisa Moore

February by Lisa Moore

As John grapples with what it might mean to be a father, Helen realises that she must shake off her decades of mourning in order to help. With grace and precision, and a shocking ability to render the precise details of her characters' physical and emotional worlds, Lisa Moore reveals the whole story to us.

Lisa Moore's work is passionate, gritty, lucid and beautifulShe has a great gift. -- Anne Enright
An astonishing writer. She brings to her pages what we are always seeking in fiction and only find in the best of it: a magnetizing gift for revealing how the earth feels, looks, tastes, smells, and an unswerving instinct for what's important in life. -- Richard Ford
A tragedy at sea, a miracle on paper...Moore offers us, elegantly, exultantly, the very consciousness of her characters. In this way, she does more than make us feel for them. She makes us feel what they feel, which is the point of literature and maybe even the point of being human. * Globe and Mail *
A marvellous book * Winnipeg Free Press *
