Praise for What Alice Forgot

O Magazine: "Funny and knowing... [about] what we choose to remember, and fight to forget."

The Age: "What [Moriarty] writes are acute social comedies of the feminine, where the domestic is more political than cosy... Technically this premise is a challenge, which Moriarty makes appear effortless... bravura depiction. Great stuff."

Women's Weekly: "A bittersweet tale by a gifted writer, whose light touch doesn't stop her exploring darker themes, such as infertility and the sad erosion of a once radiant love."

Sun-Herald: "An intriguing exploration of how people change... Alice's amnesia is skilfully used and like a detective, she must piece together the details of a life she cannot remember."
