Karen Winn, Our Little WorldRead about another title on Greenwood's list.
Our Little World is Karen Winn’s debut novel, which was published in 2022 but is set in 1985. The story revolves around the disappearance of Sally, a four-year-old neighbor of Bee, the twelve-year-old protagonist. And while the story involves a disappearance, it is also a moving coming-of-age story about sisterhood, jealousy, and secrets.
Our Little World is beautifully written and evocative of the period. It also captures the shift in the 1980s from children being relatively unsupervised to the media-driven parental hysteria which marked the Stranger Danger era.
