Narrative In Pursuance Of Books Love Anthony
The story of an accidental friendship that gives a grieving mother a priceless gift: the ability to understand the thoughts of her eight-year-old autistic son and make sense of his brief life.Two women, each cast adrift by unforseen events in their lives, meet by accident on a Nantucket beach and are drawn into a friendship.
Olivia is a young mother whose eight-year-old severely autistic son has recently died. Her marriage badly frayed by years of stress, she comes to the island in a trial separation to try and make sense of the tragedy of her Anthony’s short life.
Beth, a stay-at-home mother of three, is also recently separated after discovering her husband’s long-term infidelity. In an attempt to recapture a sense of her pre-married life, she rekindles her passion for writing, determined to find her own voice again. But surprisingly, as she does so, Beth also find herself channeling the voice of an unknown boy, exuberant in his perceptions of the world around him if autistic in his expression—a voice she can share with Olivia—(is it Anthony?)—that brings comfort and meaning to them both.

Okay, I cried.If you haven't read Genova's previous book -- "Still Alice" -- then read that first and then come to this book; that process will enable you to trust in her writing -- because you'll need to where we're going. This book has many flaws which you may, as I did (by virtue of Still Alice), regard as beautiful imperfections. I was in the middle of reading several other books (as usual) but I stopped to read this - hardly page-turner territory I'll admit although you'll want and need toJust finished this wonderful book, and still have tears in my eyes. Lisa Genova is such an incredible author. This story centers around the lives of two women, both looking for answers to some of life's most challenging questions. Although the story seems predictable, as we know their lives will become intwined, it still touched my heart in a way few books do. One woman, Olivia, is searching for answers in the death of her autistic son. The other, Beth, is in the midst of a dissolving marriage,
I'm almost not sure what to say....I have cried my way through this book. Wanting to climb into my son's high bed and hold him close.This book is eerily similar to my life. So very much. I have 2 sons. Both Autistic. One, the youngest, almost Asperger's. My eldest... Now 11, is non-verbal, eats with his fingers, adores "Mighty Machines" and "Bob the Builder", loves his chips... And steals everyone's hearts. I am a photographer. A desperate move on my part, needing to find some source of income

⭐⭐⭐⭐. My first foray into anything about Autism, heres a heartfelt story about a woman named Olivia whose son has recently passed. Needless to say he suffered from this tragic diagnosis. The story is also about Beth, who is recently separated from her husband because of his infidelity. Needless to say, these two ladies lives cross paths, and they learn a lot from each other. This is a warm and compassionate tale that would appeal to anyone who knows or has a family member with autism. Having
Well, after waiting over a year for my beloved author Lisa Genova to write another book equal to Still Alice and Left neglected, I have to say I am severely disappointed. This book did not have what ever it was those books had. I felt for the two mothers/wives who were the main characters. There just wasn't enough character development. I didn't feel I knew them. After not writing for years, Beth sits down and this novel just comes to her. Yes, it's supposed to be magical but it didn't feel like
3.5 stars. All I knew about this book before was that it's about an autistic boy (or boy with autism, whichever you prefer), and that was it. I didn't even know much about autism. I now feel I have a much better understanding of it, or at least of one way in which it might present itself; so... Mission accomplished, Ms. Genova, as usual.But I feel that wasn't her only mission. This was also about the amazing sisterhood of women, about rocky marriages, grief, feeling interminably
This is the third book of Ms Genova that I have read and thoroughly enjoyed. Ms Genova has the ability both through her educational training and her spot on character development, to write stories that are extremely meaningful and ever so realistically true.This time out, Ms Genova tackles in a very humane and intelligent manner the concept of autism and its effect on the family. Anthony, the son, is severely autistic and his mother tries desperately to make a connection, any connection to her
