Trouble with Alice

A beautifully written story of two people thrown in at the emotional deep end... Did they ever know each other at allKit 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. At home in London its consequences leave them confused by their own feelings and bewildered by each other. With an elegant lyricism, poignancy and humour, The Trouble with Alice unwinds the conventions of a love story. It offers a powerful study of estrangement in the aftermath of tragedy but also speaks of compassion, of renewal and ultimately, perhaps, of reconciliation.
