Still Alice

About this book

Alice Howland is proud of the life she worked so hard to build. At fifty years old, she's a cognitive psychology professor at Harvard and a world-renowned expert in linguistics with a successful husband and three grown children. When she becomes increasingly disoriented and forgetful, a tragic diagnosis changes her life--and her relationship with her family and the world--forever. At once beautiful and terrifying, Still Aliceis a moving and vivid depiction of life with early-onset Alzheimer's disease that is as compelling as A Beautiful Mindand as unforgettable as Judith Guest's Ordinary People.
