Each of the thirty stories in this remarkable collection explores the threat or experience of loss. Deborah Sheldon's vivid characters, crisp writing and razor-sharp dialogue will shock you and break your heart in equal measure. This is a powerful fiction debut from a writer at the top of her game."All the little things that we lose is the sort of book that I dream of reading: telling portraits of people faced with loss, and change, and challenges as they try to make sense of their lives... an exemplary work from a rising and vital talent."- Phillip A. Ellis, editor Australian Reader"All the little things that we lose is short fiction told masterfully. Sheldon's stories have that rare ability to speak volumes between each word. There are pieces of life's puzzles the reader must complete, wonderfully unsettling strips of humanity that linger in your mind long after closing the book."- Craig Bezant, editor Eclecticism e-zine"Deborah Sheldon's stories brim and crackle with sensitivity to the fragile rhythms of ordinary life... This world, seen through the eyes of men, women and children of all ages, is compelling, gripping, and always honest... sure to keep you coming back and reading over again and again."- Mark Rickerby, editor Prima Storia
