What would life be like if one day you lost a decade of your memory? Would you remember your children? Would you remember your marriage? One thing is certain, your life would be changed.
The book, What Alice Forgot, opens with Alice attending her Friday afternoon spin class, when she passes out and hits her head on the cycle next to her. After being unconscious for several minutes, she wakes up with 10 years missing from her memory. Due to her head injury, Alice doesn't remember anything that has taken place in the last 10 years.
Alice doesn't remember she is a mother of three children. She doesn't remember she is divorcing her husband, Nick. She doesn't remember the issues she has with her sister, Elizabeth. She just doesn't remember...
Not long after Alice's accident, Elizabeth arrives at the hospital and helps her regain some of her memories. But other memories Elizabeth is not able to help her with because the "old" Alice stopped sharing her life with Elizabeth years ago.
Will Alice remember? Will Alice's relationships improve? Will Alice's life change? Will Alice start over?
I rated What Alice Forgot as 5/5 Stars for outstanding.
"Early love is exciting and exhilarating. It’s light and bubbly. Anyone can love like that. But love after three children, after a separation and a near-divorce, after you’ve hurt each other and forgiven each other, bored each other and surprised each other, after you’ve seen the worst and the best—well, that sort of a love is ineffable. It deserves its own word." - What Alice Forgot
