Description
Alys, Always by Harriet Lane is a deeply unsettling yet eminently readable story about a woman who dares to wonder if she might become a player in her own right. When Frances stumbles upon the aftermath of a car crash and hears the last words of the driver, Alys Kyte, her routine existence is disrupted. As Frances builds relationships with Alys's family, she gains a tantalising glimpse of a world of privilege and possibility. But this new world also brings its own set of challenges, forcing Frances to confront her own desires and ambitions. Harriet Lane's take on contemporary class is sharply observed, making for a superbly entertaining and slightly chilling tale. With an almost feverish hyper-realism, Lane explores the differences between the entitled and unentitled classes, creating a story that misses no telling detail. This is a brilliant idea, brilliantly realised in a novel that will linger in the memory.
