SUPERB !!! A complete success for a difficult subject. This book nevertheless forces us to look at the situation in front ...

I had not heard of this book. This is the cover face with Julianne Moore, an actress that I appreciate for its natural and simplicity of the game, that attracted me. The subject is difficult, it is a little hesitant to get started but the author immediately captures our attention.
Alzheimer's disease is scary and when it is diagnosed early disease, it is hard to believe that 50 years ago, the hard disk of our memory may already be affected much !!
What appalled me most is the speed of disease progression. The story takes place over 2 years, and although we are told that the neurons are destroyed faster in a young person, this period of 24 months seems so short. A real "bug" memory !!
In this story, the reality of the disease finger is touched, the neglect of others, his external environment, his home, his words, his family and even the perception that one can have of himself -even (but who is this person that devastated the face I see in the mirror? ...).
Special mention to so emotional speech uttered by Alice at the end of the book: "I beg you, do not grieve us discovering our brand with a hot iron." I still have chills ...
I'd like to see in the cinema version of the American film but unfortunately, again, it is a priori distributed in very confidential circuit and only original. So I will maybe effort but it is not going to facilitate access ...
Anyway, skip your fears, it's a beautiful book on a difficult subject but so strong. You will not be disappointed.
