Description

Louise Stern's stories are characterised by their bold and daring young protagonists, who navigate the world with a unique blend of sign language, lip-reading, note-scribbling, guesswork and instinct. Despite this, they are full of life and ready for adventure, often finding themselves in unfamiliar places and relationships that challenge their perceptions. Stern's writing voice is distinctive, offering a fresh perspective on the world we share. Her observations are keen and insightful, noticing details that others might miss, while also being quick to judge, wary, suspicious and vulnerable. This sense of dislocation from common experience sets her apart as a writer, yet she remains fully engaged with the world around her. Through her stories, Stern invites readers into a world of quiet observation and inner reflection, where the boundaries between inside and outside are blurred.
