Books Inc. proudly presents Karen Winn in celebration of the launch of her novel OUR LITTLE WORLD!
Perfect for readers of Celeste Ng’s Everything I Never Told You, Our Little World is a powerful and lyrical coming-of-age story that examines the complicated bond of sisterhood, the corrosive power of envy, and how the traumas of our youths can shape our identities for a lifetime.
Set in the 1980s in a small and idyllic New Jersey town, OUR LITTLE WORLD (Dutton; publication date: May 3, 2022) centers on two sisters and their fraught relationship, which becomes forever altered in the aftermath of a neighborhood girl's disappearance. It’s a remarkable, art-rending debut from Karen Winn, who drew on her own sheltered upbringing, her lifelong passion for storytelling, and her medical background for this coming-of-age novel that has already garnered a long list of fervent reviews.
Bestselling novelists such as Elin Hilderbrand, Mary Beth Keane and Sally Hepworth, as well as early NetGalley reviewers, are heralding the novel as “poignant and immersive,” deeply affecting,” gripping and tender,” and “beautifully written.” Readers are finding themselves swept away by the story’s many layers.
