Unbirthday by Liz Braswell5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Returning to the place of nonsense from her childhood, Alice finds herself on a mission to stop the Queen of Hearts' tyrannical rule and to find her place in both worlds. And as Alice develops a self-portrait, she finds the most disturbing image of all - a badly-injured dark-haired girl asking for Alice's help. There's something eerily off about them, even for Wonderland creatures. She's also interested in learning more about the young lawyer she met there, but just because she's curious, of course, not because he was sweet and charming.īut when Alice develops photographs she has recently taken about town, familiar faces of old suddenly appear in the place of her actual subjects - the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar. Yao's teashop or to visit the children playing in the Square. She'd rather spend golden afternoons with her trusty camera or in her aunt Vivian's lively salon, ignoring her sister's wishes that she stop all that "nonsense" and become a "respectable" member of society. I have a few other Twisted Tale books by Liz Braswell, so you might be seeing more of these in the future. This was my first Liz Braswell book, so color me impressed. It was really hard to put this book down and go to sleep at night. What if Wonderland was in peril and Alice was very, very late?Īlice is different than other eighteen-year-old ladies in Kexford, which is perfectly fine with her. There were some twists that I definitely wasn’t expecting and I just really loved this book. ![]()
