Still Alice follows a brilliant linguistics professor whose world slowly narrows after a diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer’s. I loved how Lisa Genova portrayed Alice’s inner life with clarity and compassion, reminding us that identity doesn’t vanish with memory. In The Spoon and the Sea, dementia is also a doorway: not only into decline, but into truth, reconciliation, and love. If Still Alice moved you, I think you’ll connect with Rose’s final months, her moments of lucidity, defiance, and deep memory - and the urgency of a mother and son racing to recover what was lost before time takes it away for good.
