Alice’s Tulips by Sandra Dallas
23rd September 2009
Another outstanding book by Dallas, told entirely through letters that Alice, a young farmwife in Iowa, writes to her sister. Alice’s husband joined the Union army, and Alice is left to run the family farm, with the help of her disapproving mother-in-law. Alice is young, irresponsible and unaware of the brutality of war. When Alice is accused of murder and the whole town seems to turn against her, Alice learns who and what is truly important.
