Four Starred Review on Amazon
Australian author
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Husband’s Secret and Big Little Lies.
Alice Love is 29, crazy about her husband and pregnant with her first child. So imagine Alice’s surprise when she comes to on the floor of a gym (a gym! She HATES the gym) and is whisked off to the hospital where she discovers the honeymoon is truly over – she’s getting divorced, she has three kids and she’s actually 39 years old.
Alice must reconstruct the events of a lost decade and find out whether it’s possible to reconstruct her life at the same time. She has to figure out why her sister hardly talks to her and how is it that she’s become one of those super skinny moms with really expensive clothes. Ultimately, Alice must discover whether forgetting is a blessing or a curse and whether it’s possible to start over …
"I loved this book. It has, for me, everything that makes a good novel excellent: A delightful protagonist and her equally delightful love trying to overcome obstacles they do not fully understand; several fascinating families all jumbled into an iconoclastic mix; good friends and peculiar neighbors and difficult children and wonderfully loving relationships. What Alice Forgot is a story I will not forget and will recommend for a long time."
Jeanne Ray
'A bittersweet tale by a gifted writer, whose light touch doesn’t stop her exploring darker themes, such as infertility and the sad erosion of a once radiant love.'
The Australian Women's Weekly
'A great story which would be perfect for curling up with – I couldn't put it down.'
Australian Bookseller & Publisher
'The pages turn with ease as the mysteries of modern domestic life unfold and the pieces of Alice’s lost decade slip back into place.'
The Sunday Times
"What [Moriarty] writes are acute social comedies of the feminine, where the domestic is more political than cosy…Technically this premise is a challenge, which Moriarty makes appear effortless… bravura depiction. Great stuff."
