"""Astute and appealing ... Keep is a compassionate novel in which three people learn that history and memory are 'fluent and fallible.'"" -- Foreword"

""Astute and appealing ... Keep is a compassionate novel in which three people learn that history and memory are 'fluent and fallible.'"" -- Foreword

""Keep is a wry yet tender exploration of the way our homes and possessions carry our memories and reflect our values; we should not, the novel suggests, be too ruthless in our sorting."" -- Quill & Quire ""Haysom is tender and generous with her characters ... This is a book for anyone who needs to sit with and explore their feelings about material objects, and what we do with them, both as we live and as we prepare for the next stage in our lives."" -- The Miramichi Reader ""[Haysom's] prose is remarkable in its spareness. She adeptly represents intergenerational lives with gentleness, heart, and veracity."" -- Booklist ""Astute and appealing ... Keep is a compassionate novel in which three people learn that history and memory are 'fluent and fallible.'"" -- Foreword
