My mum is a nurse, and one of the perks of her job is that she can bring books left on the ward home to borrow.. not sure if she's meant to, but i'm not complaining :')
the last book she brought home was 'What Alice Forgot' by Liane Moriarty.
The story is about Alice Love, who awakens in the gym, very confused. Alice is wondering many things: 1. If her unborn child is safe, and 2. What the hell is SHE doing in a gym? It soon becomes clear that Alice has lost all memories from the last ten years, so not only is she no longer pregnant, but she now has three children, and is in the midst of a nasty divorce from her husband, Nick. The rest of the novel follows Alice and her family as Alice gradually regains her memory.
The story is told from the points of view of Alice, and also through the blog-posts of her 'Granny' Fran, and letters from her sister Elisabeth (who is undergoing fertility treatment) to her psychiatrist.
Alice finds everyone treats her differently, and she realises that at some point over the last time years she had lost her sensitive, youthful ways, and had become strict, cynical and oh so sensible.
I found the book a little confusing for a while because the three different points of views (Alice's, Fran's and Elisabeth's) are not separated by chapters, and at times i found myself having to read back over sections to get a grasp on what was going on.
