O knihe
Alice falls in love with rakish Harry at too young an age. When the inevitable pregnancy follows, they find themselves in a precarious position. Harry expects to get on with whatever he wants, job or no job, and for Alice to bear the burden of making ends meet and a rapidly expanding family. She battles to hold it together and to hold on to her family. Something has to give - in the end it is her mind. But this is pre and post-war Britain where Harry's "carrying on" is normalised but Alice - sensitive and artistic of temperament - has her inability to cope medicalised. She is consigned to institutions away from the public gaze, and subject to experimental medical intervention. She is strong, she is a survivor, but is it all too much? Based on her mother's true story, Mary Steele brings people and their history to life with her poetic and evocative writing.
