Alice Isn't Dead

Strange, beautiful, terrifying, final yet eternal. Ostensibly the life of two women, one who has disappeared/died and the wife she left behind who can't let go. But beneath this lies a ceaseless war in which their lives will become entwined.
I really enjoyed this book (so much that I've subscribed to the podcast and I've only ever listened to factual pods before) and I'm sure it will stay with me for a long time, at the edges of my mind.

“A life does not have to be satisfying or triumphant. A life does not have to mean anything or lead anywhere. A life does not need a direction or a goal. But sometimes a person is lucky enough to have a life with all that anyway.”
