Neuroscientist and debut novelist Genova mines years of experience in her field to craft a realistic portrait of early
onset Alzheimer's disease. Alice Howland has a career not unlike Genova's-she's an esteemed psychology professor at
Harvard, living a comfortable life in Cambridge with her husband, John, arguing about the usual (making quality time
together, their daughter's move to L.A.) when the first symptoms of Alzheimer's begin to emerge. First, Alice can't find
her Blackberry, then she becomes hopelessly disoriented in her own town. Alice is shocked to be diagnosed with early
onset Alzheimer's (she had suspected a brain tumor or menopause), after which her life begins steadily to unravel. She
loses track of rooms in her home, resigns from Harvard and eventually cannot recognize her own children.Genova gives us
a hauntingly accurate portrayal of a young woman's descent into Alzheimer's Disease from the prime of life and the
loftiest of cerebral heights.
