Acclaimed author Liz Harmer returns with a propulsive novel about the power and paradoxes of desire. “Enthralling. . . . A story that burns with intensity and daring.” (Iain Reid)

With the plot twists of a thriller, lean prose crackling with intensity, and big ideas explored alongside the messy truth of human relationships, Strange Loops simultaneously shocks and thrills the reader, all while asking vital questions about faith, love, and desire.

Liz Harmer’s first novel, The Amateurs, was a finalist for the Amazon First Novel Award. Her award-winning stories, essays, and poems have been published widely, and she has been a fellow at both the Bread Loaf and Sewanee Writers’ Conferences. Raised in Hamilton, Ontario, she now lives in Southern California.
