Happy Well- Read Wednesday everyone!
Today I am reviewing the best book I have read this year if not ever! Lisa Genova's Still Alice was a truly amazing. Beautifully written and deeply emotional this book explores the heartbreaking repercussions of early-onset Alzheimer's as well as highlighting the complex dynamics of family and the bonds that are tested during times of hardship.
Genova's novel has received much praise since its 2007 release and was brought to life in 2014's film 'Still Alice'. A film which beautiful captures the raw surfing of the protagonist Alice Holland played by Julianne Moore. ( Moore won her first Academy Award for her role of Alice in the film). The film also focuses heavily on the relationships between Alice, her husband, children and beloved work as a cognitive psychology professor at Harvard University.
Both novel and film are extraordinary pieces of art. Although the topic of this novel isn't light it will encourage you to live each and every day to the best of your ability, remind you to be thankful for your blessings and hopefully inspire you to help find a cure to this devastating disease. I urge you all to check it out!
