Still Alice
By Lisa Genova
Alice Howland has it all. At 50 years old, she’s an accomplished cognitive psychology professor at Harvard University and a renowned linguistics expert. She’s married to a successful man, with whom she’s raised three children.
Now a major film starring Oscar winner Julianne Moore, Still Alice explores how Alice’s life and the lives of her loved ones are changed after she’s diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Once placing all of her worth in her successes, Alice is forced to re-evaluate herself and her relationships.
After it was published in 2007, Still Alice stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for more than 40 weeks. It was Genova’s debut novel.
