The End of Alice
Author: A.M. Homes
Desc: From the 2013 Orange Prize-winning author of May We Be Forgiven Only a work of such searing meticulously controlled brilliance could provoke such a wide range of visceral responses. Here is the incredible story of an imprisoned pedophile who is drawn into an erotically charged correspondence with a nineteen-year-old suburban coed. As the two reveal—and revel in—their obsessive desires Homes creates in The End of Alice a novel that is part romance part horror story at once unnerving and seductive.
