Our Little World

Karen Winn's 2022 Debut Our Little World launches May 3rd and is a coming-of-age story set in 1985, when Bee Kocsis, accustomed to a fairly calm middle-class life as a kid about to enter seventh grade, is caught up first in the horror and anxiety of a neighbor child's disappearance when they go to the local beach, and then in her more popular younger sister's sudden descent into illness.

I had the pleasure of reading an advance copy of Our Little World and can enthusiastically recommend its sensitive portrayal of family life and neighborhood trauma in a decade not so far past.
