In Pills by Eric Pringle, we meet Alice Black, a dancer whose career came to an abrupt end when she was still a young woman. Now, trapped in a loveless marriage, she occasionally feels bitter and resentful that her life has not fulfilled its early promise. But the determination that first drove her to pursue a career on the stage gives her strength as she faces a very uncertain future.
