Praise for Little World

‘Josephine Rowe is a remarkable writer, able to capture entire lives in a few paragraphs, creating characters so immediately recognizable, so deeply knowable, that you feel like they’re surely going on with their daily rituals, their heartbreaks and revelations, even after you’ve closed the book.’ — Lit Hub

‘Pacey and engaging as well as poetic, Little World is a brilliant choice for fans of Lauren Groff’s Matrix and Irene Solà’s When I Sing, Mountains Dance, or anyone who enjoys a short but intoxicating read.’ — Ash Davida Jane, Books + Publishing
 

‘Short, idiosyncratic … A remarkable concoction.’—Jason Steger, The Age

‘Grandly and enduringly enigmatic.’—The Australian Book Review

‘A slender book that offers a deeper, denser exploration of ideas than its modest page count might suggest.’—Read This
 

‘A book that, despite its brevity, contains multitudes … Rowe is an incredibly gifted stylist.'—The Saturday Paper

Little World is a novel for those who find satisfaction in precisely drawn enigmas. The lyricism of the novel is often exquisite, but still more impressive is its fidelity to the dream logic that provides the story with its insistence.’—Tony Hughes-d'Aeth, The Conversation

‘Rowe's graceful prose offers a suggestive, elliptical, thoughtful exploration of the lives of women.’—Declan Fry, ABC
