Book Overview
In the shadow of New York City's skyscrapers, Elizabeth's life is unraveling-her relationship with Adam is deteriorating, her dependence on Adderall is spiraling, and her enchantment with urban life is fading. But when visions of a twisted Wonderland resurface after nearly a year's absence, her reality begins to crack at the edges as she finds herself caught between two worlds she can no longer keep separate.
Led by a relentless Alice through Brooklyn, Manhattan, and into Wonderland's Poison Garden, Elizabeth must confront a question she barely understands: Has she killed the Jabberwock?
As daydreams and delusions intertwine, the city becomes a real-life chessboard where Elizabeth must reunite with Alice to face not only the looming threat of the Jabberwock, but also the hidden fractures in her own life. Teetering on the edge of psychological dissociation, she grapples with an urban isolation that mirrors the eerie depths of Wonderland, populated by a hauntingly recognizable cast: Alongside the enigmatic Cheshire Cat and the quarrelsome Tweedle twins, she encounters shadowy reflections of the Red and White Queens and Kings, and the fragile Humpty Dumpty-each an echo of familiar faces from her waking life.
In this contemporary reimagining of Lewis Carroll's classic sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, the line between reality and fantasy blurs, pulling Elizabeth down a rabbit hole of substance dependency, dreamlike horrors, and perilous self-discovery, asking what happens when Wonderland's darkness follows you into the light.
