Still Alice by Lisa Genova is a definitive, and illuminating, novel about Alzheimer’s disease. Alice Howland is proud of her life. At fifty years old, she’s a cognitive psychology professor at Harvard with a successful husband and three grown children. When she becomes increasingly disoriented and forgetful, a tragic diagnosis changes her life—and her relationship with her family and the world forever. As she struggles to cope with Alzheimer’s, she learns that her worth is composed of far more than her ability to remember.
