Synopsis
These are Fay Weldon's letters to her niece who complained that Jane Austen was tedious and of little relevance. Weldon responds by urging her to distinguish between "literature" and "just books" and to appreciate the very different kinds of imagination involved in writing and reading.

Publisher's Note
Inspired by a series of instructive letters written by Austen to a novel-writing niece, Letters to Alice is an epistolary novel in which an important modern writer responds to her niece's complaint that Jane Austen is boring and irrelevant. By turns passionate and ironic, "Aunt Fay" makes Alice think -- not only about books and literature, but also life and culture.
Industry reviews
"...This is a generous book...Perhaps it should be required reading, a prerequisite for students of literature." New York Times Book Review - Hilma Wolitzer (06/30/1985) "Wise, sharp, informative...'Letters to Alice' is a book to recommend, full of unsuspected wisdom." Daily Telegraph (London) - A. S. Byatt "Weldon writes with conviction and wit." Unknown Critic Staff
