"Growing up as a girl in a world that was not designed for them. Living all the baroque, nightmarish, absurd experiences of girls, but also the moments of beauty and grace. Being, like an Alice in Wonderland, a heroine who explores the world and its many quirks.
Alicia was a girl and Alice in Wonderland, her bedside book. She is now a woman who enjoys writing the new adventures of Alice in the land of women like a cruel tale full of wonder, anxiety and possibilities. Alice's life and that of Alicia then intertwine in a magical and universal score.
Pursuing an original and poetic work, drawing inspiration from her own experience as a woman, writer and reader, but also from those of all women, Patricia Reznikov revisits Lewis Carroll's iconic masterpiece and offers us a feminist and mischievous story at the same time as it invites us to look at women beyond the mirror."
