Manayunk Book Club September Meetup

Please note earlier time

The winner, by a one-vote margin, is What Alice Forgot (http://lianemoriarty.com.au/Alice.html) by Lianne Moriarty.

"A “cheerfully engaging”* novel for anyone who’s ever asked herself, “How did I get here?”

Alice Love is twenty-nine, crazy about her husband, and pregnant with her first child.

So imagine Alice’s surprise when she comes to on the floor of a gym (a gym! She HATES the gym) and is whisked off to the hospital where she discovers the honeymoon is truly over — she’s getting divorced, she has three kids, and she’s actually 39 years old. Alice must reconstruct the events of a lost decade, and find out whether it’s possible to reconstruct her life at the same time. Ultimately, Alice must discover whether forgetting is a blessing or a curse, and whether it’s possible to start over."

Sounds like an intriguing read. Looking forward to seeing everyone in September. And, as always, please send along suggestions for future books.
