Alice in Bed: A Novel | 
This book. I feel bad 😊 it sounds so interesting, it has been sitting on my bookcase since 2015. It was my #bookspin for March, and I just cannot seem to pick it up. When I do I only get a few pages in and then get distracted by anything else that is laying about.
I am finally going to call this a bail and move on. Some books are better in theory than in actual reading I guess.
#JuneTunz #IKissedAGirl Alice in Bed is historical fiction based on Alice James-the sister of Henry & William James, a diarist & feminist who suffered from mysterious illnesses & was confined to her bed for years until her death at 43. Alice's first sexual relationship was w/a female friend at 18, then she was in a committed relationship w/her companion Katharine Loring. Interesting book about her life & the role of women in the late 19th century.
Day23 #photoadaynov16 #dysfunctionalfamily Arguably brilliant w/ famous author (Henry), psychologist/philosopher (William) & feminist (Alice)-the 3 most famous out of 5 siblings-the James family was full of dysfunction: alcoholism, depression, repressed homosexuality & mental illness...This novel focuses on Alice, laid up in bed for years w/undiagnosed maladies & chafing against society's treatment of women.
