Who knew you could fall down a rabbit hole in Miami and end up in England? Or that a fractured, modern-day, adult take on a childhood classic could be so much fun? Barbara Silkstone is beyond clever. She's an engaging writer who, with great skill, manages to make her skewed world ring true. The best thing about this Alice is that she's no caricature, she's a real character with all her dimensions intact. The best thing about Silkstone is that she manages to exhibit equal measures of talent and imagination.
