Wow.
What a great book. I finished it a few days ago and I'm still in awe.
The story takes place outside of Boston, where 36 year old Sarah, lives with her husband and three children. She works as head of HR of some big company and she is busy all. the. time. She is always multitasking work, home, etc and is always exhausted. But that comes to an end when she's trying to dial a phone number while driving 70 miles and hour and she suddenly realizes everyone is stopped and she's not.
After she awakens from her coma, she feels great. But then the doctors discover she has Left Neglect, which means her brain in the right hemisphere was damaged and she doesn't recognize anything on the left side. Her turmoil of rehab, recovering and realizing that she isn't going to be the old Sarah again takes up much of the book. But in the end, she finds a way to find peace.
I would highly recommend this book. The topic is fascinating and Lisa Genova writes with such style you won't ever want to put this book down.
