I haven't finished the book because I didn't like it much. The writing is rich and has a lot of good vocabulary but I didn't find the short stories very interesting. I value the women position in society that the author shows on the stories but still the content of it isn't very appealing, at least for me.

I think this book is amazing! There's absolutely no better way of describing the evolution of a EOAD patient! In a very simple way, Liza Genova is that kind of writer that can put inside the situation, as if you were living it. I recommend it to every one, either they are Alzheimer's patient's caregivers or people who are not familiarized with this kind of disease. I guess if you read this story you will, at least, understand how the situation develops and how painful it is for the patient and for its family.

I started to study the 20th century totalitarien regimes at the same time I started to read 1984. You could say that what happens in the book is completely fake and we could never have such a regime like the one in the book, but what it seems to me is that this is book is a loyal representation of those regimes. They say on the story that their current regime is better than the previous but it is exactly the same.
Nineteen Eighty-Four is the perfect insight of how nazism, stalinism or fascism happen and worked.
Highly reccomended for people that love history.
