What Alice Forgot

A slow, but lovely look at relationships, memories, and family dynamics. Alice loses her memory of the last 10 years and realizes that she isn't living the life she thought she would. She must decide what is important to her and figure out what it was that she forgot.

I enjoyed the book, once I realized that this book isn't an exciting thriller (as I initially thought from the title and the mystery behind what happened to her marriage). I realized that the other is asking the reader, what would happen if you woke up one day and lost 10 years of memories? Is it more important to see the world how you once did or how life is now? What would happen to relationships and people if we stepped back from the situation, remembering that life is short and fragile and that most of the things don't actually matter?

I appreciated the look into the lives of those who struggle with infertility. It isn't something that is talked about much, even though it is fairly common, so it was nice to see.
