Still Alice by Lisa Genova: A Review
Alzheimer’s is a devastating progressive neurological disease and the most common cause of dementia in Americans. “Still Alice”, the extraordinary debut novel by Lisa Genova, is the ironic story of a tenured Harvard professor of cognitive psychology and her heroic struggle with early-onset Alzheimer’s. Confronting her dementia Alice rejects pity from her colleagues and thoughts of suicide as she battles with her progressive memory loss and how it affects every aspect of her life particularly her relationships with those she loves.
