I read at the end of the book that Alice Island is a fictional place, but what state would it be in if it was real? Thank you!
Gabrielle Zevin
Massachusetts. Take the ferry from Hyannisport. It's an imaginary stop between Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.

Will there ever be anymore books in the series " In the Age of Blood and Chocolate "? I love all your writing, well that's a slight fib I consider you an author who's novels I can pick up to get lost in a whimsy twist on life , when I saw " the holes we dig " , it was so dark. Such an accurate portrayal of where alot of ppl are in life current day. But I must admit it made me sad to think you may put the whimsy away?

You seem to have an 'old soul,' to be able to portray Liz, but especially A.J., as such circumspect characters! For someone so young, how do you get that life perspective or poignancy that usually comes with age? My book club is reading the full text of A.J.'s literary references, and even these are chosen as one who has done a lifetime of reading and reflection.

AJ's favorite short story is "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love" I love this story myself because it raises the kinds of deep, philosophical questions that intrigue me -- particularly the ineffable nature of love. I have to know -- has this story always been his favorite? Or did it become his favorite through his experiences with the different types of love he finds in your book?
