Still Alice - Lisa Genova
KORTE INHOUD
Alice Howland is proud of the life she worked so hard to build. A Harvard professor, she has a successful husband and three grown children. When she begins to grow forgetful, she dismisses it for as long as she can, but when she gets lost in her own neighbourhood she knows that something has gone terribly wrong. She finds herself in the rapidly downward spiral of Alzheimer's Disease. She is fifty years old.
Suddenly she has no classes to teach, no new research o conduct, no invited lectures to give.

Losing her yesterdays, her short-term memry hanging on by a couple of frayed threads, she is living in the moment, living for each day. Bu...
