Synopsis: You think you're the perfect couple. And then the unthinkable happens. Kit and Alice are enjoying a luxurious weekend abroad when their car spins off a mountain road and into a desert valley. Their lives are changed in an instant. In the aftermath of the accident, their faith in each other is shattered. Suddenly it is as if they hardly know each other at all. The Trouble with Alice is a love story told backwards - a touching, surprising novel about two people who have to fall apart in order to learn how to love... the aftermath of tragedy. With fresh insight and gentle humor, Olivia Glazebrook unwinds the conventions of a love story to create a "wise, humorous, and humane novel about the nature of real love" (The Times of London). This story of the ebb and flow of love is a heartfelt commentary on the power of compassion, of renewal, and the possibility of reconciliation.
