Still Alice is a compelling debut novel about a 50-year-old woman's sudden descent into early onset Alzheimer's disease, written by first-time author Lisa Genova, who holds a Ph. D in neuroscience from Harvard University.
One of the best books I've read. Alice teaches us to appreciate and value our own personality. It is hard to believe this story is fiction. Lisa Genova created a masterpiece. Do not miss a chance to read it.
