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.
