The
Blurb
Lost and alone...Down the
rabbit hole.
Alice thought she knew
what solitude was:
Her mother—gone.
Her father—remarried with a newborn
daughter.

Now...
Trapped
in the icy embrace
of a deadly snowstorm,
Alice faces the true meaning of loneliness.

This
book is pure genius! If you’ve never read a *verse novel before you must give
it a try. Because the language is so sparse every word must be perfect—and they
were. I love the way Lisa Schroeder broke up her sentences and chapters. She
made the pacing superb.
I
instantly connected to Alice and felt her every pain and joy. I wept through
the entire second half I was so moved. I must get my hands on another Lisa
Schroeder book soon! I’m a true fan :)

*A
verse novel is a novel written through the medium of poetry rather than prose.
I'm always looking for novels in verse!
ReplyDeleteI've still never read a verse novel. This one looks awesome. Thanks for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteHey! Thanks for reading my blog.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Lisa. I read her book The Day Before (which I write about here: http://lanaswritewords.blogspot.com/2011/07/what-beautiful-beautiful-book.html) and thought it was absolutely amazing. I will definitely read this book of hers, too.
New follower here! With reviews like this it makes me wonder why I write. Seriously, I just want to sit down and cozy up to the fireplace with this book. Thanks!
