The award-winning and New York Times bestselling author ofย Beautiful Childrenย has created an unflinching yet deeply humane portrait of a young familyโs journey through a medical crisis, laying bare a coupleโs love and fears as they fight for everything thatโs important to them.
New York, 1993. Alice Culvert is a caring wife, a doting new mother, a loyal friend, and a soulful artistโa fashion designer who wears a baby carrier and haute couture with equal aplomb. In their loft in Manhattanโs gritty Meatpacking District, Alice and her husband, Oliver, are raising their infant daughter, Doe, delighting in the wonders of early parenthood.
Their life together feels so vital and full of promise, which makes Aliceโs sudden cancer diagnosis especially staggering. In the span of a single day, the coupleโs focus narrows to the basic question of her survival. Though they do their best to remain brave, each faces enormous pressure: Oliver tries to navigate a labyrinthine healthcare system and handle their mounting medical bills; Alice tries to be hopeful as her body turns against her. Bracing themselves for the unthinkable, they must confront the new realities of their marriage, their strengths as partners and flaws as people, how to nourish love against all odds, and what it means to truly care for another person.ย
Inspired by the authorโs life, Alice & Oliver is a deeply affecting novel written with stunning reserves of compassion, humor, and wisdom. Alice Culvert is an extraordinary characterโa woman of incredible heart and spiritโwho will remain in memory long after the final page.
Praise for Alice & Oliver
โThis hauntingly powerful novel follows a familyโs fight for survival in the face of illness. A stirring elegy to a marriage.โโO: The Oprah Magazine
โA rewarding reading experience . . . a testament to the resilience of humans and our willingness to forgive.โโSan Francisco Chronicle
โThe novelโs power is in its two charactersโ messy negotiation of their fears, errors and shifting affections. . . . Bock offers a forceful reminder that there are plenty of roiling emotions underneath that till-death-do-us-part.โโLos Angeles Times
โ[A] heart-wrenching story of a young couple whose lives change when Alice gets diagnosed with cancer . . . a refreshingly unsentimental look at the vicious disease.โโEntertainment Weekly
โAlice & Oliver [has a] tough-minded commitment to truth-telling.โโThe Washington Post
โEven more than the meticulous details of drugs, treatments and side effects, Bockโs tender portrayal of [his characters] in all their desolation gives [Alice & Oliver] its ring of truth. . . . I loved this novel.โโMarion Winik, Newsday
โAlice & Oliver shows that, even in a situation thatโs about as terrible as it can be, there can still exist happiness, surprise, and life, that strange strong spirit thatโs with us until the end.โโThe Boston Globe
โThe most honest, unsentimentally powerful novel about cancer that Iโve ever read.โโMichael Christie, The Globe & Mail
โWrenchingly powerful . . . Bock chronicles the daily struggles of a young wife and mother facing her own imminent mortality.
