About the book

When Alice Love surfaces from a strange dream to find she's been injured in a gym, her first concern is for her unborn baby. She's desperate to see her husband, Nick, who she knows will be worried about her. But Alice isn't pregnant. And Nick isn't exactly rushing to her bedside. She is a mother of three going through a bitter divorce. Alice has lost ten years of her life - and she wants them back. Soon to be a major motion picturePraise 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.' 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.'
