Still Thinking About This BookWhat a beautiful, tragic story about early-onset Alzheimer's Disease. Alice Howland, Ph.D., is a respected cognitive psychology professor at Harvard who begins experiencing memory problems.

I did not enjoy this book as much as I hoped. I agree with the reviewer who said that this book felt impersonal, partly because of the third-person narration and partly because of the ratio of facts about Alzheimer's to character development.

I also loved how the auth...

No es que no sepa al respecto, pero no siempre esta uno co...
I couldn’t put this book down!My heart broke for Alice, an intelligent fifty year old woman with a successful career as a Harvard professor, who has been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease.
