      Sam Baker

      ‘A curious, memorable novel in vital prose that catapults the reader into a strange and compelling land’

      ‘Heartbreaker totally bewitched me. I love its outlandishness – its sizzling energy – the bright, fierce music in every sentence’

      ‘A fierce exploration of memory and zeitgeist … Heartbreaker is a darkly comedic weirdo of a book that pulls the string of nostalgia from one side while unravelling it from the other’

       The Paris Review

      Miriam Toews, author of All My Puny Sorrows

       LA Weekly

      ‘This book is beautiful, a perfect balancing act of dark and light. It broke my heart and then put it back together again’

      Claire Cameron, author of The Bear

      ‘Heartbreaker makes high and hilarious art from the emotional pop-rocks and glittery junk of a certain way of being young. And vulnerable … A thrillingly fun and original novel’

      Rivka Galchen author of Little Labours

      ‘Claudia Dey renders 1985 in perfectly crimped, shoulder-padded detail … Come for the Shyamalanian premise. Stay for the hard-rock soundtrack’

       Chicago Tribune

      ‘Heartbreaker plays out as a vivid, tender, complex magic. A totally compulsive, singular and wild read. The people in this book are so alive, and the book itself feels unthinkably new’

      Leslie Feist

      ‘What begins as a simple mystery – a daughter attempting to investigate the sudden disappearance of her mother – turns into a much stranger and more engrossing tale … Dey’s rich prose drives the story with poetic acuteness’

      ‘It’s as if poet Anne Carson and satirist Mordecai Richler accidentally collided at a drunken PEN fundraiser to produce a mischievous, magical and observant girl-child’

       Toronto Star

      ‘Devoted, as I am, to the oddities of northern, remote lands, I could not put this book down. In turns, hilarious and harrowing, Heartbreaker’s icy exactitude is direct, disturbed and entirely splendid’
