Still Alice
By
Lisa Genova
|
Alice Howland, happily married with three grown children and a house on the Cape, is a celebrated Harvard professor at the height of her career when she notices a forgetfulness creeping into her life. As confusion starts to cloud her thinking and her memory begins to fail her, she receives a devastating diagnosis: early onset Alzheimer's disease. Fiercely independent, Alice struggles to maintain her lifestyle and live in the moment, even as her sense of self is being stripped away. Reminiscent of A Beautiful Mind, Ordinary People and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Still Alice packs a powerful emotional punch and marks the arrival of a strong new voice in fiction.

What We Said
I think I, like many who hear the subject of this book, was afraid to read it. Who would think that a book about Alzheimers would not be depressing? I am now so thankful that I did read it. I did find it frightening, but also enlightening and well worth it. I felt the author told the story beautifully and believably. It gave me a better understanding of Alzheimers in a way that has stuck with me and I would highly recommend it.
