Reviews
With its unique plot and luminous prose, it’s hard to believe this is a debut novel. Anne Corlett understands the complexities and frailties of the human heart and captures it brilliantly on the page. Definitely one for my keeper shelf.
Karen White, New York Times bestselling author
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 . . . a story that uses a SF conceit to explore human nature rather than one interested in its SF trappings.

Anne Corlett is a writer with huge potential, and I’m looking forward to her future works.
