After having read "Still Alice" and "Left Neglected" I couldn't wait to read this book. I was not disappointed. I felt like I was living with the O'Briens and struggling with them. I knew very little about Huntington's disease and now I know a little. My neighbor lost her two brothers to this disease, but I never understood what she was going through until now. What a horrible disease. I pray for a cure.

Enjoy! RABCK to Meekachu07, this book was requested for a VBB and I couldn't find it. I thought I had sent it to another BCer, but I found it today. Releasing also for Oh, the Places We Can Go 2017

Meekachu07 will be surprised as I sent another book by the same author in its place. Hope you enjoy!

Arrived today....thanks for sharing

Just finished this today and felt it was a very compelling read. I had not read anything by this author and am glad that this book was sent my way. Booklady thanks for sending this as well as the other book by this author that I will now have to make sure I read. Not sure yet what I will do with this book but I hope to find a new home for it soon.

Shipping to Winchester, MA via a bookring. Enjoy!

Thank you for sending this, Meekachu07! I look forward to reading it.

This was a powerful and devastating read. It seemed so realistic that I had to keep reminding myself it was fiction. Having the strong likelihood of being struck by a debilitating, terminal disease and deciding whether to find out in advance is terrifying. How does one’s life change with or without testing? The characters were all real, each with their own story, though this novel focuses on youngest daughter Katie as she struggles with major life issues, including whether to be tested for the Huntington’s (Chorea) that is destroying her family.

The Boston setting made it that much more real for me.

I’m currently facing a similar decision, as it is now possible to be tested for future Alzheimer’s, a disease my mother and other family members on her side suffered from. I’ve long assumed that I will get it as well, and have lived life accordingly, e.g. going to BC conventions when I really can’t afford it.😊 But do I really want to know with more certainty?

I haven’t read any of Genova’s other novels, but definitely want to now! Especially Still Alice

Thanks again to the previous readers for sharing this amazing novel!
