What Alice Forgot - A Novel

Author: Liane Moriarty
Stars: 4
Review by: Saraswati
Destination: Australia



Read this book after reading your post and having a close relative with memory loss due to a fall.  The story was tough to get started with the two other sub-stories intermingled.  Once I got going I was hooked.  This story is more about the ability to start over and find a median between what we think our past was like (rose glasses) and our current situation (not what we expected) than dealing with memory loss.   The story reminds me to truly see what we need in life and simplify.  At first I thought the ending was too easy and fast for the buildup but then once I thought about it, it was just right for the idea being posed.
