Why read it?
1 author picked Alice and the Fly as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book inspired me as an author and how to write with conviction.
The mental health element of the story was totally relatable, being a former worker in such a setting. I understood the hostility surrounding schizophrenia and the thoughts and feelings of the main character, a young boy who had the condition.

From Karen's list on inspiring reads as both a writer and a reader.
