The Space Between the Stars

Anne Corlett is a writer with huge potential, and I’m looking forward to her future works – Claire North, author of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry AugustAn original thinker and a very, very effective writer – Fay WeldonAnne Corlett is a natural writer, full of stories – Maggie GeeBeautifully written – Laura LamA thoughtful, even meditative apocalypse * SFX *An impressively strong debut … rewards the reader with real characters, strong emotional beats, and a fantastic journey across the stars * The Book Bag *Corlett’s prose lures you in * Culturess *The Space Between the Stars is one of my favourite books of the summer. One part post-apocalyptic ‘found family’ adventure, one part thoughtful exploration of trauma and grief, The Space Between the Stars is a refreshingly intimate and hopeful spin on the end-of-the-world narrative * Den of Geek *The Space Between The Stars is – for me, at least – this year’s Station Eleven … it spoke straight to my heart and unstrung it, leaving me crying quietly on an aeroplane … Like Station Eleven, this is a story that uses a SF conceit to explore human nature rather than a story that is interested in its SF trappings * Speculative Herald *Enthralling … thought provoking, in ways that will have you thinking about what it means to be a member of the human race long after you have read the last page * LitBuzz *Intriguing and wise * Shelf Awareness *
