Tiny is a memoir by award-winning travel writer Louise Southerden about her quest to create a simpler way of life by building her very own tiny house. In her successful career as a travel writer, Louise found herself staying in ever new and exotic locations, but while staying in a cabin in Norway, she had an epiphany about what she truly wanted for her life, ready to put down roots. With no prior building experience, Louise decided to build a tiny house with her partner, Max, which tested an already unstable relationship. Over the year and a half of planning and construction of her tiny house, Louise witnessed her new home coming together as her relationship was falling apart. Alongside her burgeoning construction skills, Louise learned about love, home, forgiveness and what we really need to be happy. This is an intensely personal story about searching for home and true love, two of life's most fundamental needs, risking everything, failing and finding ways to cope, and discovering that what we need isn't always what we thought we wanted.

Reviews for Tiny: A Memoir About Love, Letting Go and a Very Small House

‘A sophisticated exploration of love, self-love and the complexities of the human condition, alongside an intricate insight into the world of tiny houses. It’s also refreshingly real. For fans of Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat, Pray, Love and Sarah Wilson’s First, we make the beast beautiful, or anyone curious about building a tiny house (and a relationship), Tiny is sure to make a significant impression on your heart and mind.' * BOOKS + PUBLISHING * ‘An elegiac tale infused with yearning and eventual acceptance, counterbalanced by the joy of designing, acquiring the skills and creating a home. This beautifully crafted work reveals much about the gender dynamics of such a collaboration while offering inspiration to anyone who shares the dream.’ * THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD * ‘In this intensely introspective memoir, Southerden reflects on love, menopause, mental health, freedom and stability as she constructs her own unique bolthole on the periphery of the Australian dream.’ * THE GUARDIAN *
