Fans of Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, should read this book. Here's the story of how/why Carroll wrote this book. A good portrayal of the Victorian time period, this book also lends an uncomfortable feeling because of the relationship Carroll (real name Dodgson) had with Alice when she was a young child. Was he sexually attracted to her? Was it innocent? This adds a creepy factor to the story and keeps the reader interested in discovering what really happened to the real Alice of the famous story. Like the movie Titanic, this story begins when Alice is 80 and looking back on her life. I was intrigued enough by the story to research its historical roots, and the author obviously strived to offer authentic historical connections. A love story on many levels with a bit of mystery to it as well, this is an entertaining read which will probably prompt the reader to research the real story herself. Those who liked the movie Finding Neverland which provided the background for Barrie's writing of Peter Pan, should enjoy this book as well.
I think this is the one I read - about TB patients and vampire lore in New England.
