What Alice Forgot
by Liane Moriarty
Book Overview
After a fall at the gym, thirty-nine-year-old Alice Love wakes with ten missing years and the fixed belief she’s twenty-nine, pregnant, and happily married to Nick. Reality hits: she’s a mother of three in a bitter divorce, her children feel like strangers, and she has become a sharp, fitness-driven super-mum she barely recognizes. As Alice hunts for the lost decade, she probes the slow unravelling of her marriage and the fractures with her sister, Elisabeth, weighing whether to restore the life she built or reclaim the optimistic woman she remembers—before the chance to choose slips away.
