A historical novel about the real Alice behind Alice in Wonderland, the man who created the story, their relationship, plus a vivid insight into life in Victorian times. I really enjoyed the Victorian flavor to this story, which is both factual and fiction, but I found the relationship between Alice and Mr Dodgson, later Lewis Carroll, who was a math instructor at Oxford, where Alice's father was Dean, to be a bit unsettling.
The latter half of the book was not as interesting - about Alice's married life and her three sons. Neither did I feel there was a sense of resolution at the end - hence the 3 stars.
