Zusatztext "An instant sensation and the January pick for Good Morning America’s book club." — Entertainment Weekly "Navigates assuredly between the plot twists and big reveals. . . . Long Bright River is equal parts literary and thrilling." — O, The Oprah Magazine "Tough, tense and twisty - but tender, human and deeply affecting, too ... I don't have a sister, but when I finished the book I called my brother, just to hear his voice." —Lee Child "Satisfyingly, the characters’ interior lives are as important as the mysteries that propel the action." — NYT Editor’s Choice " Long Bright River — a book that has garnered much pre-publication buzz — nervously twists, turns and subverts readers’ expectations till its very last pages. Simultaneously, it also manages to grow into something else: a sweeping, elegiac novel about a blighted city.” — The Washington Post "Alternating its present-day mystery with the story of the sisters' childhood and adolescence, Long Bright River is at once heart-pounding and heart-wrenching: a gripping suspense novel that is also a moving story of sisters, addiction, and the formidable ties that persist between place, family, and fate.” — Good Morning America "Truly, this is a great literary novel about a city in the age of opioids and two sisters navigating their past. And in the tradition of many great literary thrillers, I promise you, you will not see the end coming." — NPR "Powerful." — The Wall Street Journal "Moore’s observations are informed and compassionate… One of loveliest things about Long Bright River is that it’s not a literary glorification of addiction." — The Guardian "Thoughtfully explores the power of nature versus nurture, the pull of addiction, and, and the lengths we go to for family." — Marie Claire "An exquisite novel that dug its fingers into my heart and has refused to let go…I finished this novel shaken, both by its sheer emotional resonance and also because of how clear and familiar so much of what Moore describes feels to me. — Medium.com "Pulsating with breathtaking suspense and boundless compassion, Long Bright River is the kind of genre-defying novel that, once the final chapters close, you instantly implore people to read. Topical yet timeless, its page-turning narrative wrestles with the fissures and wreckage that addiction can inflict on a family—and a city. Liz Moore is a force, and Long Bright River should be on top of everyone's to-read list come January.” — Forbes "A propulsive thriller and a poignant family saga.” — Time Magazine "Deftly plotted with strong, vivid characters, Liz Moore's outstanding Long Bright River works as solid crime fiction and an intense family thriller." —Associated Press "Liz Moore’s Long Bright River is the perfect literary page-turner. It’s a brilliantly plotted crime novel, yes, but it’s also a story about the complicated push and pull of family, and how much of our childhood traumas we carry forward through our lives. Anyone with a mother, a father, a brother, or a sister – anyone with a heart, for that matter – will love this book, as I did." — Mary Beth Keane , New York Times bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes "Liz Moore’s Long Bright River is a riveting portrait of so many things—of grief, of sisterhood, of a neighborhood in despair. Moore makes you care about the people that society too often abandons and, in doing so, pulls off a hat trick of epic storytelling that is stigma-busting, love-rendering, and page-turning to the last word." — Beth Macy, New York Times -bestselling author of Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the ...
