Book Eighteen

Lisa Genova
STILL ALICE
Pocket Books (2009)

"Even then, more than a year earlier, there were neurons in her head, not far from her ears, that were being strangled to death, too quietly for her to hear them. Some would argue that things were going so insidiously wrong that the neurons themselves initiated events that would lead to their own destruction. Whether it was molecular murder or cellular suicide, they were unable to warn her of what was happening before they died."

Absolutely spell-binding ... a touching look into the world of dementia and early-onset Alzheimer's disease ... seen through the eyes of Alice and her family and friends.

A must read ...
