Even a small one. Does not even believe … Still. Catholic or not. You don't turn away a saint.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the north-western corner of 1950s Australia, a saint arrives at the home of a retired engineer, who unwittingly becomes her custodian. A girl of indeterminate age, her body remains as it was when she died, incorruptible. And though no one knows it, she is conscious, reflecting on past and present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLittle World stretches across continents and eras – from the Canal Zone in Panama and the island of Nauru all the way to the onset of Covid in contemporary Victoria.
