Publisher Description
From neuroscientist and New York Times bestselling author of Still Alice, a "beautifully written and poignant" (USA TODAY) novel about autism, grief, motherhood, friendship, and unconditional love.
In an insightful, deeply human story reminiscent of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Daniel Isn’t Talking, and The Reason I Jump, Lisa Genova offers a unique perspective in fiction—the extraordinary voice of Anthony, a nonverbal boy with autism.
Anthony reveals a neurologically plausible peek inside the mind of autism, why he hates pronouns, why he loves swinging and the number three, how he experiences routine, joy, and love. In this powerfully unforgettable story, Anthony teaches two women about the power of friendship and helps them to discover the universal truths that connect us all.

Love Anthony
Totally inspiring!! Could not put it down. I now have read all three of Lisa's books and could read all three again!!
Love Anthony is amazing!
I read it from the perspective of being a parent of two autistic boys and the recent betrayal of a husband of 21 years from an affair. She nailed everything she wrote about so realistically, but still managed to leave you with a sense of hope.
Wonderful
A great read. A bit different from Lisa Genova's other books (more spiritual, less science) but still delivers! I will recommend to my friends.
