A few years ago I became obsessed with this show. A woman hits her head and wakes up with no memory of who she is. As she puts the pieces back together, she realizes she wasn't a very nice person.
A similar plot emerges in the book What Alice Forgot by
Liane Moriarty. Alice hits her head at the gym. Even though she knows who she
is when she wakes up, she has forgotten the last ten years of her life. Alice is amazed at how fit she looks, but she is more shocked to realize she
hasn't become a very nice person.
Moriarty tells the story through Alice, her sister Elisabeth,
and their adopted grandmother Frannie. While Alice is mourning the loss of her memories, Elisabeth is dealing with infertility. Frannie, meanwhile, is wondering if she's ready to let go of her fiancee that died years before. Humorous and touching, this story
highlights all that can change in the span of ten years. And more importantly, all that can change in the blink of an eye.
