Alice's island

a novel
Daniel Sánchez Arévalo
Book - 2019

Alice Dupont<U+2019>s perfect marriage was a perfect lie. When her husband, Chris, dies in a car accident, far from where he should have been, Alice<U+2019>s life falls apart. After the police close the case, she is left with more questions than answers. While learning to cope with her loss and her new identity as a single mother of two, Alice becomes obsessed with unraveling the mystery surrounding her husband<U+2019>s death and decides to start her own investigation. Retracing her husband's last known whereabouts, she soon discovers clues that lead her to a small island near Nantucket. As she insinuates herself into the lives of the island<U+2019>s inhabitants in an effort to discover what they knew about her husband, Alice finds herself increasingly involved in their private lives and comes to a disturbing realization: she has been transformed into a person she no longer recognizes. In seeking an answer to what her husband was doing before he died, Alice discovers not only a side of him she never knew, but sides of her own character she has never explored. Part mystery, part moving family drama, part psychological page-turner, Alice<U+2019>s Island is a novel whose vivid characters hold the reader rapt right up until the final page.
