This Is How We Love

Using her careful prose like a trowel ... Moore analyzes the fundamental connection between the ways we love and the stories we hold, tell, and repeat.

Literary Review of Canada

The sentences astonish in thrashing staccato form, unearthing one insight and backstory after the next, memories recounted from different perspectives, the snowstorm all the while never letting up … Such is the power of Moore’s writing.

Winnipeg Free Press

You will want to read This is How We Love in one sitting. Why? Because it won’t leave you alone. The characters live with you and in you and will remain long after you have read the last page.

The Miramichi Reader

Moore is at her strongest when she writes about ineffable bonds in all their forms, bringing to mind works by Anne Enright and Deborah Levy, both of whom have used family as a device to interrogate women’s hidden lives and desires. Nuanced and heartfelt, This Is How We Love ranks among Moore’s best.

Quill and Quire

As ever, there’s real verve and volume to Moore's writing, with all characters viewed from different angles, as they observe and lure and refract against each other at different times and in different approaches knit together to show ‘This is How We Love.’

St. John's Telegram

A masterful book that goes boldly into our most tightly held anxieties, fears, and longings about who and how we love, This is How We Love is an unmissable read.

Open Book

A haunting novel about the complexity of relationships, which can be both mazes of hopelessness and sources of wild joy.
