In Lisa Genova’s extraordinary New York Times bestselling novel, an
accomplished professor diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease learns that her
worth is comprised of more than her ability to remember. Now a major movie from
Sony Pictures Classics starring Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin, Kate Bosworth, and
Kristen Stewart!
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 Alice is a moving and vivid depiction
of life with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease that is as compelling as
A Beautiful Mind and as unforgettable as Ordinary People.
Won the 2008 Bronte Prize and the 2011 Bexley Book of the Year.
