“Jessica Moor is a new young writer I believe in. She’s smart, she’ll reach a different generation, she has plenty to say that is political and necessary. And she can tell a story. She’s versatile, unafraid . . . with a voice of her own.”
—Jeanette Winterson, bestselling author of Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit and Written on the Body

“Jessica Moor marshals her material cleverly. . . . Her portraits of the women and their backstories are varied and credible; they made me want to shout out in anger.”

“Reading The Keeper is a visceral experience . . . cleverly reminding us that for some women simply existing in a man’s world is more dangerous than anything else.”

“The Keeper is extraordinary. Humane, compelling, and absolutely furious in the best possible way. I read the last chapters with my hand clapped over my mouth.”
—Flynn Berry, author of A Double Life
 
“The Keeper is wickedly paced and utterly chilling, making space for the interior lives of its victims and their gradually shrinking worlds, all the while exposing the failures of the systems that are supposed to protect them. As compulsive as it is heartbreaking.”
—Rosie Price, author of What Red Was

“A timely and thought provoking novel that explores issues of power and control with a sensitive and deft touch.”
—Nuala Ellwood, internationally bestselling author of My Sister’s Bones

“Sharp, incisive writing, and frighteningly believable characters. And what a twist.”

“Extraordinary and compelling.”
—Cara Hunter, internationally bestselling author of Close to Home
