'Alison is a haunting book, complex and intimate. Lizzy Stewart has written and drawn the aches and confusions of love and growing up with immense skill' - Posy Simmonds

Alison is newly married, barely twenty and struggling to find her place in the world.

A chance encounter with an older artist upturns her life and she forsakes convention and her working-class Dorset roots for the thrumming art scene of London in the late seventies.

As the thrill of bohemian romance leads inevitably to disappointment, Alison begins to find her own path - through art, friendship and love.

Industry Reviews

'Subtle and deliciously complicated' - Tessa Hadley

'A delicious portrait of 80s and 90s London and a more universal tale of a working-class young woman making a life in a world that has not been designed for the likes of her. For all its effortlessness [...] Alison ends up carrying a great emotional heft. It's a lovely book, and I cried at the end.' - Guardian

'Every page is a marvel; I absolutely loved it to death' - Jenny Colgan

'Alison is a haunting book, complex and intimate. Lizzy Stewart has written and drawn the aches and confusions of love and growing up with immense skill' - Posy Simmonds

'Nuanced, lovely, and very real, Alison haunted me for days and left me wanting to give it to everyone I know' - Jessie Greengrass, author of The High House
