Still Alice

Book • 2009
The novel follows Alice Howland, a celebrated Harvard professor and linguistics expert, as she navigates the devastating diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's disease.

The story, told from Alice's perspective, details her increasing disorientation, memory loss, and the emotional and practical challenges she and her family face.

Despite her fierce independence, Alice's sense of self is gradually stripped away, affecting her relationships with her husband, John, and their three children.

The book provides a heartfelt and insightful look into the experiences of those living with Alzheimer's disease and their loved ones.
