A Globe and Mail Best Book

"A captivating family saga - full of deeply felt observations and breathtaking tenderness - Jamie Zeppa's debut is sure to steal your heart."
— Ami McKay, author of The Birth House

"In Every Time We Say Goodbye, Jamie Zeppa does for Sault Ste. Marie what Alice Munro does for Southwestern Ontario. The sense of place is palpable. The suffering characters are reminiscent of the quiet tragedy of Richard B. Wright's Clara Callan. A great read."
— Catherine Gildiner, author of Too Close to the Falls and After the Falls

"A tender, exquisitely written story that aches and laughs and hopes, and never quite leaves you. Jamie Zeppa's Every Time We Say Goodbye is driven by characters so real you nearly become them. A deeply penetrating novel."
— Tish Cohen, author of The Truth About Delilah Blue and Inside Out Girl

"Every once in a while a delicious novel comes along, one that pulls you in and twirls you through its world until you look up and three hours have gone by. Or six. While there are many stories about families, what distinguishes this book is the compassionate wisdom that underpins it, the grace that echoes through it. To read this masterful (and humorous!) novel is to feel what it is to forgive and live bravely: with a tender, laughing, ever-opening heart."
— Alison Wearing, author of Honeymoon in Purdah
