\n After Alice<\/a>\n <\/div>\n
\n by Gregory Maguire<\/a>\n <\/div>\n
\n Great concept, a snappy title, and a blurb that captured my attention, too. Did the book live up to all that? For me, mostly – with some caveats.\n\nEven if you haven’t read Lewis Carrol’s children’s classic Alice’s Adventure’s in Wonderla...\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n People Like Us<\/a>\n <\/div>\n
\n by Louise Fein<\/a>\n <\/div>\n

\n A Spell of Winter<\/a>\n <\/div>\n
\n by Helen Dunmore<\/a>\n <\/div>\n
\n Probably my favourite Helen Dunmore novel – a difficult choice. Dunmore writes so beautifully, lyrically, and with such acute observation of the detail of human behavior. \nSiblings Catherine and Rob have been abandoned by their bohemian ...\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
