Still Alice is the gripping first book by first-time novelist Lisa Genova, a Ph. D. neuroscience graduate of Harvard University, about a 50-year-old woman's abrupt decline into early onset Alzheimer's disease.
At the pinnacle of her career, Alice Howland, a renowned Harvard professor, is happily married, has three grown children, and owns a home on the Cape when she begins to discover signs of forgetfulness. Her memory starts to fail her and confusion starts to cloud her reasoning. She is devastated to learn that she has early onset Alzheimer's disease. Strongly self-reliant, Alice battles to keep up her way of life and appreciate the present as her identity is being taken away from her. Still Alice, in all its devastating, inspirational, and horrifying twists, brilliantly depicts what it's like to physically lose your mind.
