Finished We 2/15/12
This book was the selection for my Contemporary Book Club, February 22, 2012.
The book was a quick and easy read, and was just as compelling as any thriller. My only problem was that I felt the ending to be just a bit too romantic. Many people with Alzheimer's are not so accepting and loving as Alice, and their families are not in a position to offer such unilateral support. This tragic condition can cause extreme states of anger and confusion, and I think that the author's message might be misinterpreted as, 'with Love, all things are surmountable'. And, with certain Alzheimer's patients, this is farthest from the truth.
