Praise for What Alice Forgot:
'Funny and knowing . . . [about] what we choose to remember, and fight to forget' - O Magazine
'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' - The Age
'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' - Australian Women's Weekly
'An intriguing exploration of how people change . . . Alice's amnesia is skilfully used and like a detective, she must piece together the details of a life she cannot remember' Sun Herald
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
If your past self could experience your present life, would she be thrilled—or disappointed? In Liane Moriarty’s giddy bestseller, a soon-to-be-divorced mom of three hits her head and wakes up having mentally regressed 10 years, to when she was happily married and pregnant with her first child. Moriarty (who went on to write Big Little Lies) proves she’s brilliant at plumbing the complex psyches of women and the tensions in their relationships. What Alice Forgot explores how cynicism, ambition and emotional baggage can make a person lose sight of what’s most important.
