about this author
I'm a Harvard-trained Neuroscientist, a Meisner-trained actress, and an entirely untrained writer!
My first novel, STILL ALICE, winner of the 2008 Bronte Prize, nominated for 2010 Indies Choice Debut Book of the Year by the American Booksellers Association, and winner of the 2011 Bexley Book of the Year Award, was released on January 6, 2009. It debuted at #5 on the New York Times Bestseller list and has spent 30 plus weeks there. It has been translated into 20 plus languages.
Originally self-published, I sold it out of the trunk of my car for almost a year before it was bought at auction by Simon & Schuster.
LEFT NEGLECTED, released on January 4, 2011 and also a New York Times Bestseller, is my second novel.
I live in Chatham, Massachusetts with my husband, documentary filmmaker and photographer Christopher Seufert, and three children.
"After I read STILL ALICE I wanted to stand up and tell a train full of strangers, YOU HAVE TO GET THIS BOOK." - Beverly Beckham, Boston Sunday Globe
“Lisa Genova is the Michael Crichton of brain science. What she proved with STILL ALICE, she proves again with LEFT NEGLECTED. This is huge, powerful human drama at its elegant best."
-Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean
