Description
Alice, a young, almost-successful New York entrepreneur, tries to rebuild her life in the wake of a staggering financial failure, and in the shadow of her wealthy new husband, who rode to her rescue, whom she grudgingly loves, and who - like Alice - has more than a few years' worth of secrets that he'd prefer no one ever learn.
A beautiful and poetic novel, Alice is a story of secrets; like Preiss's earlier work, it is at once a searingly personal tale, a funny and heartbreaking love story (or two, or three), and a sweeping, global satire of the 1980s.
