A return to one's childhood home unearths lost memories. A family spends an evening together listening to Grandma's stories about their faraway homeland. A mother dreams about a daughter she's never met. A piece of lace blurs the line between past, present and future.

A Little Better Elsewhere is a poignant anthology that grapples with the complexities of nostalgia. From intimate reflections on childhood innocence to powerful depictions of grief, love and change, this collection of short stories, essays and poetry celebrates the diverse insights of Australia's emerging writers.

With a foreword written by Sarah Ayoub, A Little Better Elsewhere weaves together experiences of joy, longing, sadness and comfort, challenging us to consider whether nostalgia helps us make peace with the past or keeps us trapped in its shadow.
