“Everyone has to take a leap of faith at some point in their life,” shouted Alice over her shoulder, as she jumped out of the train window and into the cold mist.
Alice Falls Again is a book for adults/young adults, which tells how Alice, some years on since her Lewis Carroll adventures, finds herself again trapped in Wonderland. But Wonderland, like Alice, has changed.
With college studies awaiting her in London and a seriously ill father at home, Alice’s orderly life is in turmoil. Her mind is more on pills and packing than distant memories of Wonderland. She goes to the riverbank to think things over and in bizarre circumstances is whisked off to Wonderland, a twisted world where she encounters characters and events from the dark history behind our favourite nursery rhymes.

Alice is smarter and savvier this time around, which is just as well, as Wonderland bears little resemblance to its former self. Animals are forbidden to talk, the townsfolk live in fear of a tyrant and the weather’s all mixed up. Could a Jabberwocky be behind it all? Alice is conflicted between escaping the world as fast as she can and trying to help her friends along the way, not realizing that the two are closely connected. One thing hasn’t changed in Wonderland; Alice’s curiosity and attitude might just be the death of her if she can’t find her way back. |
