Since November 2009Book News: What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty
August 17th, 2009 by Leah
Liane Moriarty’s third novel, What Alice Forgot, is due for release on 10th June 2010 by Penguin and sounds like a very interesting read - kind of like Sophie Kinsella’s book Remember Me?:
Remember the woman you used to be … Alice is twenty-nine. She is whimsical, optimistic and adores sleep, chocolate, her ramshackle new house and her wonderful husband Nick. What’s more, she’s looking forward to the birth of the ‘Sultana’ – her first baby. But now Alice has slipped and hit her head in her step-aerobics class and everyone’s telling her she’s misplaced the last ten years of her life.
In fact, it would seem that Alice is actually thirty-nine and now she loves schedules, expensive lingerie, caffeine and manicures. She has three children and the honeymoon is well and truly over for her and Nick. In fact, he looks at her like she’s his worst enemy. What’s more, her beloved sister Elisabeth isn’t speaking to her either. And who is this ‘Gina’everyone is so carefully trying not to mention? Alice isn’t sure that she likes life ten years on.
Every photo is another memory she doesn’t have and nothing makes sense. Just how much can happen in a decade? Has she really lost her lovely husband for ever? What Alice Forgot is a novel with a tremendous heart about the enormity of all the things that can happen to a person in ten years. It’s a story about mothers and daughters, sisters and friends, husbands and wives, and of how you should never lose sight of the people that you love.

Yesssss, this was meant to be released in August, but then it was postponed, even though I was so looking forward to it! It does sound like a fantastic read, similar to Remember Me indeed and I can’t wait to read it!
