From the 2013 Orange Prize-winning author of May We Be Forgiven

Only a work of such searing, meticulously controlled brilliance could provoke such a wide range of visceral responses. Here is the incredible story of an imprisoned pedophile who is drawn into an erotically charged correspondence with a nineteen-year-old suburban coed. As the two reveal—and revel in—their obsessive desires, Homes creates in The End of Alice a novel that is part romance, part horror story, at once unnerving and seductive.

Editorial Reviews

"With all the cunning and control of a brilliant lover, she takes us places we dare not go alone." --Los Angeles Times

"The book shocks, mesmerizes, repels, and titillates, erupting at one unforgettable point in a harrowing flashback that does for baths what Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho did for showers." --Vanity Fair

"A breathtaking new novel...certain to cause controversy." --Elle

"Superlative...undeniably shocking...superbly achieved by a writer who is a true artist." --Vogue
