The Love-artist
A darkly brilliant first novel that imagines a missing chapter in the life of Ovid, the most popular author of his day. Between the known details of the poet's life and these enigmas, Alison has interpolated a haunting drama of passion and psychological manipulation.
Housewife in Love
‘You’re the bride, babe. You just go right ahead and arrange anything you bloody well want. And I mean anything. I don’t care how we get married. All I want is you.’ At long last, love is in the air, sending Helen Robbins into a flat spin while she grapples with the prospect of starting over (and whether or not she’s too old to have sex in an aeroplane). Does she really want a relationship? Moreover, does she really want a relationship with a man like Rick? While she wrestles with the million dollar question, her sister Julia blindly prepares to face the onslaught of motherhood for the first time at 43, prompting neurotic Leoni (killing her husband slowly on a high cholesterol diet) to warn her that parenthood isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. As if to prove the point, Rick’s passion-killing teenage daughter, Lola, turns up and demonstrates just how awful a kid can turn out. And as Helen’s wedding day approaches, she plans the biggest surprise of them all . . .

The Girl from the Paradise Ballroom
The epic love story of an Italian singer and a British dancer, set against the backdrop of war-torn England Antonio and Olivia meet only for a brief moment, but the electricity between them is breathtaking. He is a struggling Italian singer; she is a captivating dance hostess at London’s seedy Paradise Ballroom. Months later, as World War II dawns, they unexpectedly meet again. Olivia’s fortunes have changed, and she is now the wife of Antonio’s wealthy new patron. She fears Antonio will betray the secrets of her past, but little by little they are drawn together, outsiders in a glittering, rarefied world of tradition and class to which neither of them truly belongs. At last, with the threat of an unimaginable conflict looming across Europe, the attraction between them becomes impossible to resist—but when Italy declares war on England, the political and emotional impact threatens to separate them forever. Heart-wrenching and compulsively readable, The Girl from the Paradise Ballroom is a dazzling story of forbidden love and family loyalties set amid history’s most devastating war.
The Lives of the Miller's Tale
With his Miller's Tale, Chaucer transformed a colorless Middle Dutch account into the lively, dramatic story of raunchy Nicholas, sexy Alison, foolish John and squeamish Absolon. This book focuses on the ways Chaucer made his narrative more effective through dialogue, scene division, music, visual effects and staging. The author pays special attention to the description of John the carpenter's house, the suspension of the three tubs from the beams, and the famous shot-window through which the story's bawdy climax is enacted. The book's second half covers more than 30 of the tale's retellings--translations, adaptations, bowdlerized versions for children, coloring books, novels, musicals, plays and films--and examines the ways the retellers have followed Chaucer in dramatizing the story, giving it new life on stage and screen. The Miller's Tale has had many lives--it promises to have many more.
