18 9 y separately published work icon What Alice Forgot Liane Moriarty , Sydney : Macmillan Australia , 2009 Z1587358 2009 single work novel When Alice Love surfaces from a beautiful dream to find she's been injured in a gym, she knows that something is very wrong - she hates exercise. Alice's first concern is her baby - she's pregnant with her first child, and she's desperate to see her husband, Nick. But Alice isn't pregnant. And Nick isn't worried. Alice is the mother of three children and her hostile husband is in the process of divorcing her. Alice has lost ten years of her life. Her sister Elisabeth, who seems uncharacteristically cold, drives her home from the hospital. And 'home' is totally unrecognisable, as is the rest of her life. Who is this 'Gina' that everyone is carefully trying not to mention? Why does her mother look like she's wearing fancy dress? And what's all this talk about a giant lemon meringue pie? It turns out forgetting might be the most memorable thing that's ever happened to her. (Publisher's blurb)

Belinda's life is in free-fall after the sudden death of her fiancé Andy. But then ghostly signs begin to appear which suggest he might not really be gone. And Belinda begins to tumble even further. Will his final parting gift be enough to save her?

'The Mother
Evelyn McGavin, Andy's mum, is also struggling. She copes with her sorrow by shoplifting (once), hating Belinda (constantly) and jumping out of a plane. In her skydiving instructor, Baz, she finds an unexpected friend. But why is he so agitated when he hears how Andy died?

'Two women, united in their loss, separated by their grief. And yet still linked in a most unexpected way ...' (From the publisher's website.)
14 2 y separately published work icon The Hypnotist's Love Story Liane Moriarty , Sydney : Macmillan (Pan Macmillan Australia) , 2011 Z1811683 2011 single work novel

'Ellen O'Farrell is an expert when it comes to human frailties. She's a hypnotherapist who helps her clients deal with everything from addictions to life-long phobias. So when she falls in love with a man who is being stalked by his ex-girlfriend she's more intrigued than frightened.

'What makes a supposedly smart, professional woman behave this way? She'd love to meet her! What she doesn't know is that she already has. Saskia has been masquerading as a client, and their lives are set to collide in ways Ellen could never have predicted.

'This wonderfully perceptive new novel from Liane Moriarty is about the lines we'll cross for love. It's about the murky areas between right and wrong, and the complexities of modern relationships.

'As Ellen is about to discover, we're all a little crazy - even her.' (From the publisher's website.)
