‘A House for Alice’
By Diana Evans (Sept. 12)
The fourth novel by British writer Evans begins on the horrific night in 2017 when London’s Grenfell Tower burned, killing more than 70 people. Against that big social backdrop, Evans’s book follows the intimate story of one family: three daughters and their recently widowed mother, Alice, who plans to move back to Nigeria, her homeland.
