Review:
"What Alice Forgot" by Liane Moriarty was a good and long read. I found that this novel was a adult fiction that covers a lots of topics.... divorce, death,infertility, and a very dysfunctional family members. There is a lots going on in this novel, so you have to really pay close attention to what all is going on. The author was really good in the presentation of the story( in third person at some times) because in the end the story will all comes together making this novel a good story. There were three parts to "What Alice Forgot"...... the first being with Alice Love... next...Alice's sister Elisabeth and
then their is the grandmother....Frannie. Each one of these people bring out the essence of the plot. All of the characters of the story were really brought to life making the story very real and interesting....Nick (husband), children (Madison, Tom and Olivia) Barb, Roger, Nora, Ben Kate, Choe, Maggie, Mrs. H., Xavier, Dominick , Jasper, Gina, Mike, Sophie, Jane, Mrs Bergen, Luke and there are others that you will just have to
read to find out who I missed (smile).
The story starts out with a Sydney housewife, Alice falls at her gym (spin class) and hits her head and this causes her to forget the last ten years of her life. The story continues on with Alice trying to piece her life back together and then the story really takes off for lots of drama. And then the end come of the story ..WoW!
I really did like the part of the story around of the making of the pie. Now I know you probably want to know about this 'Lemon Meringue Pie' and you will simply have to read this novel to find out what I am talking about. Is Alice's memory coming back?
I did enjoy the humor that was all through this novel. It really kept me really liking the read. "What Alice Forgot" will definitely catch and keep your attention if you are willing to stick with the long read. I enjoyed this read because it really makes you look at your life and wonder what really is important. I would recommend this novel as a good read.
