17 9 y separately published work icon What Alice Forgot Liane Moriarty , ( trans. Béatrice Taupeau with title À La Recherche D'Alice Love ) Paris : Albin Michel , 2019 Z1587358 2009 single work novel When Alice Love surfaces from a beautiful dream to find she's been injured in a gym, she knows that something is very wrong - she hates exercise. Alice's first concern is her baby - she's pregnant with her first child, and she's desperate to see her husband, Nick. But Alice isn't pregnant. And Nick isn't worried. Alice is the mother of three children and her hostile husband is in the process of divorcing her. Alice has lost ten years of her life. Her sister Elisabeth, who seems uncharacteristically cold, drives her home from the hospital. And 'home' is totally unrecognisable, as is the rest of her life. Who is this 'Gina' that everyone is carefully trying not to mention? Why does her mother look like she's wearing fancy dress? And what's all this talk about a giant lemon meringue pie? It turns out forgetting might be the most memorable thing that's ever happened to her. (Publisher's blurb)
