A tour de force from Sarah Crossan * Patricia Forde, Laureate na nOg *
Where the Heart Should Be thrums with longing, beauty, loss and strength. * Katya Balen *
A beautifully written, tightly observed novel... completely absorbing. -- Lucy Bannerman * The Times *
With tenderness and unexpected humour, this story is irresistibly emotive as events unfold with almost unbearable tension, mitigated only by the promise at the beginning that true love wins -- Nicolette Jones * Sunday Times *
