Still Alice -by Lisa Genova


Alice Howland, the main character, is a Harvard Psychology Professor who is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease at age 50. This book reads quickly and is a reminder to all of us that life can "turn on a dime". Because her disease occurs so young it also progresses very rapidly. The book is written from Alice's point of view even as her memory deteriorates. A very intersting look at what must go on inside the minds of all Alzheimer's victims.
