What Alice Forgot

What Alice Forgot (2009) by Liane Moriarty. This book is a totally absorbing, compulsively readable story about what happens to a woman named Alice when she falls in an exercise class, bumping her head and losing 10 years of memory. Suddenly, to her, it is not 2008 but 1998. All her memories of the past ten years are gone, including the births of her three children and the disintegration of her marriage. She is living in a wonderland where she is still in love with her husband and can't imagine why they are getting a divorce. The book is extremely well written, and when she finally gets her memory back it all makes sense. This is one of the best novels I have read, and I recommend it highly. Grade: A
