"A story that really draws the reader in, with characters that you want to embrace as friends (or as satisfyingly horrible enemies)... Quite deliciously funny and sad." Barbara Trapido, author of Frankie & Stankie. ----------------------- Kit and Alice are happy, in love and enjoying a luxurious weekend break abroad when the unthinkable happens: their car spins off a mountain road and into an empty desert valley. Their lives are changed in an instant. The accident shatters their faith in each other and in their relationship. Alice's natural optimism deserts her; she stops eating and separates herself from other people. Even her loving sister Emmy is kept at a distance. Kit's dog Bones becomes her constant companion. For his part, Kit resents this new brittle Alice; he bitterly reproaches himself for his lack of sympathy, but cannot seem to reconnect. The Trouble with Alice is a beautifully written tale of two people thrown in at the emotional deep end, struggling to find a way back in the aftermath of tragedy. With poignancy and humour, Olivia Glazebrook unwinds the conventions of a love story. She speaks of compassion, of renewal and ultimately, perhaps, of reconciliation.
