The Book Boy

Alice is 38 and has a house, a husband, two teenage children and a part-time job. She thinks she ought to be happy, but he isn't.

Instead, she feels that she has vanished, that she is like something lost down the back of the sofa. Because Alice has a secret that is never spoken of in the she can't read. Now timid, quiet Alice must start out on her own brave journey, and for it she chooses the strangest companion.

For the first time in her life, she knows what she wants and she is going to get it. With the help of the book boy.
