About the author

At the age of eighteen Alice had been awarded a tennis scholarship to America when she experienced pain in her right hand. It was rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and she hasn’t picked up a tennis racket since, a sadness that shall always be with her. The theme of disability features in her fiction, but there is nothing gloomy about Alice or her work. Rather this gives her fiction the added dimension of true poignancy.

[Kerry Feeney · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book but it didn’t have the ending I felt the characters deserved which is why it was only given the rating it was. Nice, easy to read book and would make a good holiday book
