The car accident that blights the lives of Kit and Alice, a couple without a care in the world, changes everything. It shatters their faith in their relationship and in each other. Alice's natural optimism and sense of security desert 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; but he cannot seem to reconnect. The Trouble with Alice is a beautifully written tale of two people thrown in at the emotional deep end, stuggling to find a way back in the aftermath of tragedy. With poignancy and humour, and a keen understanding of human frailty, Olivia Glazebrook unwinds the conventions of a love story. She speaks of compassion, of renewal and ultimately, perhaps, of reconciliation.
