All the Little Bird-Hearts by Viktoria Lloyd-Barlow is a beautifully observed and emotionally resonant novel longlisted for the Booker Prize 2023.

Sunday Forrester, a devoted mother, lives a quiet life with her teenage daughter in a seaside town. When a charismatic new neighbor and her son move in, their arrival disrupts Sunday’s carefully structured world. What begins as a tentative friendship soon exposes hidden insecurities, complex emotions, and fragile boundaries.

With subtle storytelling and psychological depth, Lloyd-Barlow explores themes of motherhood, neurodivergence, loneliness, and the desire for connection. The novel captures the delicate balance between trust and vulnerability in relationships.
