In The End the Beginning

Om In The End the Beginning

Alice falls in love with rakish Harry at too young an age. When the inevitable pregnancy follows, they find themselves in a precarious position. Harry expects to get on with whatever he wants, job or no job, and for Alice to bear the burden of making ends meet and a rapidly expanding family. She battles to hold it together and to hold on to her family. Something has to give - in the end it is her mind. But this is pre and post-war Britain where Harry's "carrying on" is normalised but Alice - sensitive and artistic of temperament - has her inability to cope medicalised. She is consigned to institutions away from the public gaze, and subject to experimental medical intervention. She is strong, she is a survivor, but is it all too much? Based on her mother's true story, Mary Steele brings people and their history to life with her poetic and evocative writing.
