Description
The Life and Times of Alice Bliss is a poignant portrayal of a young girl facing up to the unthinkable. At fifteen, Alice is smart, funny, and clever, but her world is turned upside down when her father leaves home to fight a war he doesn't believe in.
As she waits anxiously for his letters, Alice and her mother find ways to cope with the uncertainty of his absence - throwing themselves into school and work respectively, bickering intermittently. But then they're told that he's missing in action, forcing them to confront the possibility that he may never return.
This powerful story is a heart-wrenching exploration of love, loss, grief, and growing up, set against the backdrop of a young girl's struggle to come to terms with her father's absence. Ultimately, it's a story about a daughter's enduring love for her father.
