Alice I Have Been - Melanie Benjamin
I absolutely loved this book and I'm torn about letting it go.
For anyone who loved the tales of Alice in Wonderland comes an inspired re-imagining of the 'real' Alice's tumultuous life beyond the looking glass.
In her warm and sympathetic historical novel, Alice I Have Been, Melanie Benjamin takes us into the mind and heart of “the real Alice,” and in doing so provides a rich evocation of Victorian England, which often seems as foreign to us in twenty-first century America as the “curiouser and curiouser” underground world encountered by her fictional namesake.
The book is written as a memoir, not a biography, and as such is fully dependent on the recollections of the elderly Alice, written down supposedly in 1932 after an American tour to celebrate the 100th birthday of Lewis Carroll.
As new condition paperback novel.
