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.
‘There's a moment early in Tiny when Louise Southerden, walking on a beach, draws the floorplan of her longed-for home using a stick in the sand, then walks around inside this imaginary dwelling accompanied by a few seagulls. It's a strange and magical bit of play, the author manifesting her vision, and it stirred my heart. This is a gorgeous book about finding one’s place in the world — and about how difficult it can be, paradoxically, to attain the simple life. By turns funny, charming, and deeply moving, the narrative effortlessly balances the construction of a house with the dismantling of a relationship. There are passages of clear-eyed self-reflection that reminded me in the best ways of Robyn Davidson. Southerden has built something brave, beautiful and admirable here.’
