LITTLE GODS was shortlisted for the 2019 Stella Prize
Little Gods
Louise Swinn in The Australian says “Ackland’s Australian forebears here are Christina Stead, Miles Franklin and Amy Witting. Maybe Olive is our Scout Finch.”
EA in The Saturday Paper says Little Gods “[is] lyrically written… Australian to its core and both nostalgic and razor-sharp” and “farcical; laugh-out-loud funny and desperately sad.”
