kwurtzel3 's review for:
Alice by Heart
by Steven Sater
Favorite quotes:
When all she wanted, really, was to escape from this shadowy Underworld, from this imbecile Tube-station hell, to lie in her warm room again—her room, as it once had been—before the wailing cries of drones, before the fearful humming from her anxious windowpanes—to lie, warm as warm, in her old familiar sheets again, and read.
Good God, just to forget herself and read!
Again, she looked and this time thought: Alice, turn one page. I loved him. I still love him. Yes.
“Sometimes we overcome, you know, just by going on.”
