The Forgetting by David Shenk
Winner of the 2002 BMA Popular Medicine Book Prize: This is a haunting literary and scientific examination of Alzheimers disease and the race to find a cure.‘The Forgetting is completely absorbing, fascinating, the best of writing, thought-provoking, socially important and imperative to read, with the narrative pull of a well-written murder mystery’ Amy Tan
‘It’s not only great science writing – it takes a terrifying disease that will affect us all, directly or indirectly, as we grow older, and gives it a meaning and a human face.’ Mark Haddon, Books of the Year, Guardian
‘Lucid and often moving…Shenk is a wonderful writer on science. His prose zings along.’ Independent
‘A startling book, a mixture of history, science, politics and compelling case studies’ Daily Telegraph
