This is a must read. Lisa Genova gives insight into how the Alzheimer's victim feels and thinks. There is story beyond the Alzheimers so we are drawn into Alice's life. It moved me to the point of tears. There were times when I had to put the book down for a break. But I always came back. Still Alice is a very thought provoking book.
It made me think about some things in my own life. Why are we always so busy?
Am I one of the people who are not warm and friendly to those with mental limitations? I would like to think not, but is that my perception or theirs?
How much patience would I have if it were my spouse? Or parent? Would I be one of the characters I inwardly critized or admired?
