Publisher Description

In Lisa Genova’s extraordinary New York Times bestselling novel, an accomplished woman slowly loses her thoughts and memories to Alzheimer’s disease—only to discover that each day brings a new way of living and loving. Now a major motion picture starring Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin, Kate Bosworth, and Kristen Stewart!

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. In turns heartbreaking, inspiring, and terrifying, Still Alice captures in remarkable detail what it’s like to literally lose your mind...

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.

Still Alice

I am so grateful that someone like Lisa has written a wonderful book on early onset Alzheimer. My own mother started her symptoms at age 39 and had a terrible time with family and friends. Not knowing about this disease in the 60's made it that much worse. I now volunteer for an Alzheimer's group. It is my way of giving back.

The book was well written. Thank you. 5 stars

A beautiful read

This is one of my favorite books. While watching Alice's deterioration is terrifying, the book is so beautifully written that it manages to be inspiring. This is one of the few books I bought, kept and re-read from time to time. Don't miss this one!
