Intoxicated is a fantastical Victorian saga— imaginative, irreverent, funny, exciting, and unexpectedly uplifting. The action centers around the Brookes family—plus an odd assortment of their intriguing friends and associates—and their creation of a nonalcoholic tonic called Rhubarilla. This unusual and surprising novel—described by one critic as "equal parts Charles Dickens and Roald Dahl"—has its bleak moments, but, ultimately, it's as exhilarating and effervescent as the seductive bubbly drink at its core.
