What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty

You know, even a little story about a woman who hits her head and can't remember the past ten years can be extremely affecting if it's well-written, as this one is.  The setting is Sydney, Australia, but it could be anywhere in the world where people fight with spouses, misunderstand each other, struggle with personal issues and fight sadness and depression.  And yes, I'm a complete and total sap that my son loves to call, The Fountain, because I cry at Hallmark commercials, but I spent the last three chapters of this book with a snotty nose and tears running down my face.  Maybe you won't cry, but I definitely found this one a good read and a nicely written story. Two thumbs up!
