Lisa Genova
From neuroscientist and New York Times bestselling author of Still Alice, a "beautifully written and poignant" (USA TODAY) novel about autism, friendship, and unconditional love. In an insightful, deeply human story reminiscent of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Daniel Isn’t Talking, and The Reason I Jump, Lisa Genova offers a unique perspective in fiction—the extraordinary voice of Anthony, a nonverbal boy with autism. Anthony reveals a neurologically plausible peek inside the mind of autism, why he hates pronouns, why he loves swinging and the number three, how he experiences routine, joy, and love. In this powerfully unforgettable story, Anthony teaches two women about the power of friendship and helps them to discover the universal truths that connect us all.

"Tbh this is the only book I've read by her"

"More like 2.5 stars. I felt like I couldn't connect with the characters the same way I usually do. But I usually read YA and fantasy books so I was trying something new. Books about marriage, divorce, and autism aren't usually on my 'to read' list."

"I absolutely LOVED this book! Even after working with children with autism for so long, I feel I learned so much from this story. I feel that Anthony really gave me a voice in my head that I can hear when I think of and work with my students."

"I just closed this book and tears welled up in my eyes. This was an amazing story, I loved being able to hear Anthony's view of life, happiness and love. I am left with new views on these subjects and am grateful that I picked this book up. <br/>"
