Title: Who is the liar here?
Review: I'm about 3/4 of the way through this fairly unbelievable tale but will finish in the hope of some "payoff" in the end. It appears that the person lieing most to Alicia is Alicia herself. The book begins at a point at which it appears Alicia has put some serious trauma behind her and attained a degree of emotional maturity. Wrong! It quickly disintegrates from there. And the reasoning for her continuing to stay in a situation of spiraling peril -- she can't leave her animals -- tries my patience. Just go to the police, bring them back with you, and voila! Unwanted visitor ousted and the animals are okay. As I said, I will finish the book -- it's much like the phenomenon of watching a train wreck: too awful to see but too fascinating in its awfulness to turn away.
