Summer Reading My friend Sylvia loaned me the book “Still Alice” by Lisa Genova.I give it five stars.Not because it is an amazing piece of literature, but because of its impact on me.I can't stop thinking about it and when I was reading it, I couldn't put it down. It is the story of Alice, a brilliant professor of cognitive psychology at Harvard and a world-renowned expert in linguistics who discovers she has early onset Alzheimer's disease. This book is beautiful and terrifying - ringing true in every word.
To quote a review that I read on Kindle: "With a master storyteller's easy eloquence, Genova shines a searing spotlight on this Alice's surreal wonderland. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to read this book. It will inform you. It will scare you. It will change you."
It has changed me.
This book brings to mind three excellent movies on the subject of Alzheimer’s that I have seen this summer on DVD: Away from Her
