[close] Lisa Genova garnered high praise for her novel "Still Alice," which focused on early-onset Alzheimer's Disease. It was so successful that it was adapted into a movie starring Julianne Moore. Genova's followup novel, "Inside the O'Briens," focuses on the experience of a family dealing with HD from both the view of a man suffering from the onset of the disease and his family members.

This book was a fantastic representation of what (I would think) the families affected by HD go through. Well-written, emotionally engaging, this book is one of the best I have read in a long time.

Shameless plug: my friends and I started a read-a-thon to help fund research new treatment options for those afflicted with HD. Please consider joining us, or donating! https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/... ...more
