The Things We Keep

Early-onset Alzheimer's disease is a real bummer. Did anyone see Still Alice? I cried and cried at that movie for poor Julianne Moore's character, suddenly turned ancient at only fifty years old.

But this author manages to take that subject and actually write an uplifting story, even though her protagonist gets struck with the disease at the incredibly early age of thirty-eight.

It's a great book; I recommend it!
