Publisher Description
From the national bestselling author of Ghost Tree comes a mind-bending novel inspired by the twisted and wondrous works of Lewis Carroll...
In a warren of crumbling buildings and desperate people called the Old City, there stands a hospital with cinderblock walls which echo the screams of the poor souls inside.
In the hospital, there is a woman. Her hair, once blond, hangs in tangles down her back. She doesn’t remember why she’s in such a terrible place. Just a tea party long ago, and long ears, and blood...
Then, one night, a fire at the hospital gives the woman a chance to escape, tumbling out of the hole that imprisoned her, leaving her free to uncover the truth about what happened to her all those years ago.
Only something else has escaped with her. Something dark. Something powerful. And to find the truth, she will have to track this beast to the very heart of the Old City, where the rabbit waits for his Alice.
Customer Reviews
Very Good Read-NOT for kids OR teens
I actually loved this book. Each character was very intriguing and left me wanting to know more about them.
This book is NOT for children and has a lot of sexual abuse in it.
However, it was a very good book.
I feel the ending [even though it was good] could have been a little "more" than it was.
Loved it
I definitely could read this again.
Love a great story you can’t put down?
Absolutely love this author and her books... I haven’t done a written review yet but felt compelled to give my two cents... especially after power reading everything except The Mermaid which I have just begun.
The storytelling and unique perspectives the author imparts to these childhood favorites kept me wanting more, more, more! Read these books for a great escape from the mundane :)
