Alice I Have Been (Audio CD) (Unabridged)
Alice I Have Been - Audio CD - Unabridged Author:Melanie Benjamin, Samantha Eggar (Narrator) A young girl whose bright spirit sent her on an unforgettable trip down the rabbit hole, and the grown woman whose story is no less enthralling... Alice Liddell Hargreaves’s life has been a richly woven tapestry. As a young woman, wife, mother, and widow, she’s experienced intense passion, great privilege, a... more »nd greater tragedy.
But as she nears her eighty-first birthday she knows that, to the world around her, she is and will always be only “Alice.” Her life was permanently dog-eared when, at one fateful moment in her tenth year during a golden summer day, she urged a grown-up friend to write down one of his fanciful stories.
That story, a wild tale of rabbits, queens, and a precocious young child, becomes a sensation the world over.
Its author, a shy, stuttering Oxford professor, does more than immortalize Alice... he changes her life forever. But even he cannot stop time, as much as he might like to.
And as Alice’s childhood slips away, a peacetime of glittering balls and royal romances gives way to the urgent tide of war.
For Alice, the stakes could not be higher. For she is the mother of three grown sons, soldiers all.
Yet even as she stands to lose everything she treasures, one part of her will always be the determined... the undaunted Alice of the story who discovered that life beyond the rabbit hole was an astonishing journey.
