She doesn&’t have dreams of stardom, but the basement theater in a wildfire-choked town isn&’t exactly what she envisioned for her career back home in Los Angeles. To make matters worse, her best friend Sadie is not even coming. Pragmatic, serious Sadie and flighty, creative Alice have been best friends since high school—really one another&’s only friends—but now that they are through with college (which they attended together) and living on opposite ends of California, Alice would at least expect her friend&’s support. Sadie, determined not to cancel her plans with her boyfriend, ends up enlisting the help of her mother, Celine. A professor of women&’s and gender studies at UC Berkeley, Celine&’s landmark treatise on sex and identity made her notorious, but she&’s struggling to write her new book in a post-second-wave feminist world. So, when Sadie begs her to attend Alice&’s play, she relents, if only to escape writer&’s block. But in a turn of perplexing events, Celine becomes entranced by Alice&’s performance and realizes that her daughter&’s once lanky, slightly annoying best friend is now an irresistible young woman. Set over the course of decades—from Alice and Sadie&’s early friendship days and Celine&’s decision to leave her husband to the radical movements of 1990s Berkeley and navigating contemporary Hollywood—Alice and Celine&’s affair will test the limits of their love for Sadie and their own beliefs of power, agency, and feminism. Witty and relatable, sexy and surprising, Sarah Blakley-Cartwright&’s debut adult novel is a mesmerizing portrait of the inner lives of three very different women.

Alice's Abenteuer im Wunderland: Large Print (Classics To Go)

Die britische Zeitung The Guardian nahm 2009 sowohl Alice im Wunderland als auch Alice hinter den Spiegeln in die Liste der 1000 Romane auf, die jeder gelesen haben muss. Die Erzählweise und -struktur, die Figuren und die Metaphorik haben unverändert großen kulturellen Einfluss. Alice im Wunderland erfuhr Adaptionen für die Bühne und im Film. Figuren der Erzählung, wie zum Beispiel die Grinsekatze, der Jabberwocky, der Märzhase und der verrückte Hutmacher, oder einzelne Episoden, wie beispielsweise die der Teegesellschaft, in die Alice hineingerät, wurden in der Popkultur immer wieder aufgegriffen und zitiert.
