Alice ist 29 und liebt Schlafen, Schokolade, ihr marodes Haus - und ihren Ehemann Nick. Obendrein freut sie sich auf "Sultana" - ihr erstes Baby. Doch nachdem sie sich beim Step-Aerobic den Kopf angeschlagen hat, erzählen ihr alle, sie habe die letzten 10 Jahre vergessen. Alice, eigentlich 39, findet ihr Leben vollkommen verändert vor: Sie hat drei Kinder und einen Ehemann, der sie allenfalls als ärgste Feindin betrachtet. Und wer ist eigentlich "Gina", die jeder versucht nicht zu erwähnen?
From the bestselling author behind the addictive, award-winning HBO sensation BIG LITTLE LIES comes the compelling and thought-provoking story of love, life and memory

______________
How can ten years of your life just disappear?
Alice is twenty-nine.
She adores sleep, chocolate, and her ramshackle new house.
She's newly engaged to the wonderful Nick, and is pregnant with her first baby. But there's just one problem.
That was ten years ago . . .
Alice slipped in her step-aerobics class, hit her head and lost a decade.
Now she's a grown-up, bossy mother of three in the middle of a nasty divorce and her beloved sister Elisabeth isn't speaking to her.
This is her life, but not as she knows it.
Just how many mistakes can you make in a decade?
Can she ever get back to the woman she used to be?
