Memory loss is not the end. Actually, this could be a chance for a fresh start...
When Alice wakes up on the gym floor, she's convinced she's twenty-nine and pregnant with her first child with her gorgeous husband Nick. As it soon turns out, however, ten years of her life have just been erased from her memory: In reality, she's a thirty-nine-year-old neurotic who prefers to spend her free time at the gym or at school board meetings among the women she once hated. What caused this transformation? Why does her partner hate her? And what did she do wrong to her sister that she barely talks to her? And to make matters worse, he can't even remember his three children! Alice suddenly sees herself through different eyes - and she doesn't like the woman she has become one bit. Will he find a way to revive his former self?

Liane Moriarty
(* 1966) Born in Sydney, Australia, her sister Jaclyn Moriarty is also an established writer. She started working in advertising and marketing straight out of school, but soon started her own business, freelancing as an advertising copywriter and earning an engineering degree from Macquarie University in Sydney. She published her first novel in 2004 and since then her prose has regularly been among the world's bestsellers. She has also written several children's books under the pseudonym Nicol Berry, but these have received more acclaim abroad than at home in Australia. The author's most successful titles include, besides Husband's Secret (2013, no. 2014), especially the Seven Maidens (2014, no. 2015), which was the basis for the HBO series of the same name starring Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman.
