Dalloway is not uncertain in her Britishness, her feelings of belonging, whereas Brown’s narrator does not get this privilege: Woolf writes, “since her people were courtiers once in the time of the Georges, she, too, was going that very night to kindle and illuminate to give her party.” Mrs. Dalloway is at the other end: she is hosting the party that the narrator will attend.

She's also interested in learning more about the young lawyer she met there, but just because she's curious, of course, not because he was sweet and charming. Alice is happy to meander to Miss Yao's teashop or to visit the children playing in the Square. She'd rather spend golden afternoons with her trusty camera or in her aunt Vivian's lively salon, ignoring her sister's wishes that she stop all that "nonsense" and become a "respectable" member of society. The 10th installment in the New York Times best-selling A TWISTED TALE series asks: What if Wonderland was in peril and Alice was very, very late?
