*Book cover reveal*

I'm excited to share the cover for my debut novel, Rosewater.

Yesterday, something very cool happened. The cover for my debut novel, Rosewater, was revealed on a billboard in SOUF London, not far from where I grew up. How beautiful is the cover?! You can pre-order it here.

With Rosewater, I've written the book I want to read, an intergenerational mapping of love with queer black women at its heart. I can't wait for you to meet Elsie, step into her world and find yourself embroiled in her struggles, sex-life, mesmerising poetry (written by THE Kai Isiah-Jamal) and LOVE.

Here is what some of my favourite writers are saying about it:

‘Rosewater is funny, witty, messy and beautifully queer… a story that seeps into you the way warm sunshine does at the final edges of winter’ - Nicole Dennis-Benn

‘Bold and beautiful…[a] bracing contemporary voice’ - JOHN LEGEND, Mike Jackson and Ty Stiklorius

‘Little gifts us with a novel that tells of the love, courage, grace and power of a connection and a softness that propels us through the messy, harsh realities of life and self discovery- to know yourself through the love that knows you. Elsie is loveable and frustrating and swaggering and vulnerable, a wonderful protagonist. Frank, sexy, and so tender. Little's pen shines’ - Bolu Babalola

‘Brimming with ideas and bursting with heart… Liv Little continues to be a game changer with this novel - I am in awe’ - Nikesh Shukla

‘Beautiful… It is Black queer history. It is messy love and pure love and deep friendship. It is written by someone who understands those things intuitively. IT is your Nan’s pepperpot and roti, food for the sweet parts of your soul. I raced through it in 24 hours!’ - Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff

‘Rosewater is a story so wonderfully imbued with a sense of family, community and the importance of finding your place in the world—but more than anything, it's a stunning exploration of the ways in which friendship can deepen into an unbreakable bond of romantic love. I consumed it in breathless gulps’ - Sareeta Domingo

‘The kinda love oozing from characters I’ve always wanted to see on the pages’ - Travis Alabanza

‘No book has captured the dialogue of millennial black London so well and this book manages to be socially aware without it feeling forced. Rosewater brings to life the London at the vanguard of culture and all the challenges facing them: housing insecurity, low pay, sexual frustration and monogamy in a city where non-monogamy can feel more enticing. The lead characters are complex, cool and sexy, and the supporting cast even more rewarding. Rosewater’s protagonists are the Queer grand daughters’ of Selvon’s Lonely Londoners and this is a modern Black British love story that will become a future classic’ - Symeon Brown

‘Rosewater feels like a song for the dreamers who are trying to find their way. It is a wonderful, messy, heart-filled novel’ - Jendella Benson
