title: Seeking Alice: A Novel (Excelsior Editions)
author:  Camilla Trinchieri 
description: With a careful hand, Trinchieri paints a realistic picture of how love, betrayal, loss, and guilt shape one family in a period when the parameters of daily life shifted constantly  This novel blends a deeply emotional story with an environment that is captivating in its danger and complexity  <i>Seeking Alice</i> is a fully engaging story that doesnt let go until the final page.  <i>Foreword Reviews</i><br><br>...[an] absorbing narrative  Trinchieri drives toward her conclusion with skill and heart.  <i>Education Update</i><br><br>...one of those all-too-rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf  very highly recommended.  <i>Midwest Book Review</i><br><br>A searing narrative that keeps the reader alert, on the edge, at times almost unbearably so. I could not put the novel down. War inhabits the lives of all the characters of <i>Seeking Alice</i>; it pulses through the novels own memory. Its the source of loss and the lethal circle the two narratorsand the readermust penetrate and understand. The journey into which we are drawn may be defined by the broad strokes of history, but it is the fine precision of the intimate detail, the fierceness of love, the rawness of regret, the force of desire and compassion that pull us. A truly wonderful book!  Edvige Giunta, author of <i>Writing with an Accent and coeditor of Personal Effects</i><br><br>Like Elsa Morantes <i>History: A Novel</i> and Alberto Moravias <i>Two Women</i>, Camilla Trinchieris <i>Seeking Alice</i> is that rare redemptive and all-too-often ignored story of what its like to be a woman living in a war zone trying to keep yourself and your children safe while trying to maintain your own integrity. It is a redemptive novel of witness about this courageous womans experience and her daughters unrelenting drive to recover her mothers true history long after the war is over.  Louise DeSalvo, author of <i>Chasing Ghosts: A Memoir of a Father, Gone to War</i><br><br>This beautifully written novel is a cross between Leo Tolstoys <i>War and Peace</i> and Martha Gellhorns <i>A Stricken Field</i>. Its about the worst moments of the twentieth century as experienced by a family with no good options, and the love, sacrifice, regretand triumphthey live with in the face of forces beyond their control.  Kass Fleisher, author of <i>Dead Woman Hollow</i>
