The World After Alice

byLauren Aliza Green, Barrie Kreinik (Read by)
Twelve years after the devastating loss of sixteen-year-old Alice Weil, her brother, Benji, and best friend, Morgan, surprise their two families with invitations to their imminent wedding. Their relationship is a shock to all, but the couple hope that over a sunny weekend in coastal Maine old wounds will not reopen.

But as the whirlwind nuptials begin, it soon becomes clear that not everyone in these estranged families is ready to move on. Rekindled old flames, new lovers and deep resentments are rife. With each new revelation, the two families are forced to confront how well they know their loved ones, and what do if the answer is far less well than they previously thought . . .
A lovely debut novel that glimmers with fine writing and notes of human insight. There's a quiet beauty to Lauren Aliza Green's work, and I am now a fan
