'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.
