Still Alice
ISBN/GTIN

Description

An incredibly moving, insightful and ultimately uplifting novel about a woman diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease at the age of 50. Alice is a remarkable, intelligent and successful woman, and her family, yoked by history, DNA and love, discover more about her and about each other, in their quest to keep the Alice they know for as long as possible. Losing her yesterdays, her short-term memory hanging on by a couple of frayed threads, she is living in the moment, living for each day. But she is still Alice. Beautiful and poignant, STILL ALICE introduces a new major writing talent.
