birdienl.livejournal.comMelanie Benjamin – Alice I was 3/5
The story of the 'real' Alice in Wonderland, the daughter of an Oxford dean, growing up in a stifling Victorian atmosphere and her friendship with Charles Dodgson (the real name of Lewis Carroll).
This was such a weird novel. Things are implied about Alice and Mr.Dodgson and this colours the whole novel and gave me an upleasant feeling reading. Still, it never becomes clear what really happened, which annoyed me. Why imply stuff when you don't give the reader clarity in the end?
