Alice

by Gary Gautier, Virtual Voice (Narrator)

Alice’s commune seems a small hippie utopia in a dreamlike forest, but the utopian surface begins to crack when strange things start happening. A small deformed creature with a bowling ball head appears out of nowhere and turns to Alice for support. Her trips to the pond start to bring transcendental omens and strange visitors. Thus begins a journey in which Alice wanders away from her idyllic home to find another world and to slowly connect the dots of her own world’s missing history. This post-apocalyptic adult hippie fairy tale is comic, poignant, thoughtful, and sparkling, a magical tapestry with many threads by an Amazon bestselling author (90-minute reads free list) and two-time Faulkner-Wisdom Prize finalist.

[Dan Adams · Rating 5 out of 5]

This enjoyable book shines where all of the author's stories shine...in the appealing, real-world dialogue Gary Gautier cooks up to make his characters spring into life, to keep the story humming and the book's pages turning, and to propel Alice onward to its satisfying conclusion. Interesting and quirky!
