'Powerful' Closer 'A darkly quirky story of love, obsession and
fear . . . a beautiful story hung around the enchanting and
heartbreaking voice of teenager Greg' Anna James Miss Hayes has a
new theory. She thinks my condition's caused by some traumatic
incident from my past I keep deep-rooted in my mind. As soon as I
come clean I'll flood out all these tears and it'll all be ok and I
won't be scared of Them anymore. The truth is I can't think of any
single traumatic childhood incident to tell her. I mean, there are
plenty of bad memories - Herb's death, or the time I bit the hole
in my tongue, or Finners Island, out on the boat with Sarah - but
none of these are what caused the phobia. I've always had it. It's
Them. I'm just scared of Them. It's that simple. For fans of Sarah
Winman, Junot Diaz and Maria Semple, Alice and the Fly is an
unforgettable book about phobias and obsessions, isolation and dark
corners, families, friendships, and carefully preserved secrets.
But above everything else it's about love. Finding love - in any of
its forms - and nurturing it.

by: Sue @ Crushingcinders
A steadfast, but unreliable narrator leads the reader through this heart-wrenching story.
Peppered with love, hope, secrets and lies this book latched onto me and drew me towards the ultimate conclusion where I was left dazed. A brilliant portrayal of the dissolution of family life.
