For readers of SORROW AND BLISS or ALL MY PUNY SORROWS: an unforgettable literary debut exploring motherhood, vulnerability, and the way the world closes ranks against those it considers to be different
*LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE FOR FICTION 2023*
*SHORTLISTED FOR THE AUTHORS' CLUB BEST FIRST NOVEL AWARD 2024*

'A triumph' Daily Telegraph
For readers who loved Sorrow and Bliss or Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine - an unforgettable story of a mother and daughter whose lives are upended when a charming new couple move in next door.
Sunday Forrester lives with her sixteen-year-old daughter, Dolly, in the house she grew up in. She does things more carefully than most people. On quiet days, she must eat only white foods. Her etiquette handbook guides her through confusing social situations, and to escape, she turns to her treasury of Sicilian folklore. The one thing very much out of her control is Dolly - her clever, headstrong, teenaged daughter.
Into this carefully ordered world step Vita and Rollo, a couple who move in next door, disarm Sunday with their charm, and proceed to deliciously break just about every rule in Sunday's book. Soon they are in and out of each others' homes, and Sunday feels loved and accepted like never before. But beneath Vita and Rollo's polish lies something else, something darker. For beneath Vita's charm lies a desperation and a certain entitled ambition - to have a daughter just like Dolly, all to herself.
Praise for All the Little Bird-Hearts: Longlisted for the Booker Prize 2023
-
Glorious. Unforgettable. It showed me things about autism that will stay with me. A genuinely valuable book, but more importantly I enjoyed being in its world
-
A work of tremendous emotional subtlety: full of acute and surprising observations about human behaviour, pain, perception and privilege; full of longing and love. I remained in Sunday's world long after closing this funny, lyrical, deft and devastating novel. Lloyd-Barlow's is a voice that emerges fully formed
-
Viktoria Lloyd-Barlow's is a distinct and poetic new voice. This novel about the complex desires behind our closest relationships is undercut with the darkness of Sicilian folklore
