just in the opening pages. the americans book sounded interesting to me but this autobiography sounded more accessible which is why i've chosen it. from the blurb i wouldn't have picked this up but so far i like the voice. (there is also a photograph of alice and basket right at the beginning which i loved! basket is surprisingly tall and regal looking...)

already i have misunderstood. the photo at the beginning was not alice. it was a picture of gertrude, alice and basket but with alice cropped out! that was contrary to my expectations. but it makes sense. two chapters in, gertrude seems to be the centre of this world and alice has just been invited in
