The Passion of Alice
“Stephanie Grant's first novel is as grim as it is powerful, stripped entirely of the convenient life-affirming consolations and breakthroughs that can make "social issue" fiction easier to take. Her prose style is relentlessly cool and stark, serving as X-ray vision that registers the hardest truths without prettification.” The Boston Globe
The Passion of Alice. (Houghton Mifflin 1995; Hodder & Stoughton UK 1996; Bantam 1996)
