Left Neglected by Lisa Genova

Left Neglected is Lisa Genova's second novel --- and while it is not as good as Still Alice, it is still pretty remarkable.

Her book follows the ups and downs of Sarah, a 37 year old mother, wife and high strung career women who is in an car accident that leaves her with an brain injury called, Left Neglect. Left Neglect is a brain dysfunction that leaves an individual without the ability to see, recognize or feel the left side of the body.

The character's are well written, the plot is inspirational and the writing is superb. Genova has the ability to put you in Sarah's shoes and experience left neglect and the frustration that comes with it.

Left Neglected is an eye opening, interesting and an enjoyable read, however if you are familiar with Genova's novel, Still Alice you will notice a huge different in her storytelling and while it isn't bad it is different --- so you need to look past it so that you can enjoy this particular book.
