Love Anthony by Lisa Genova
From the author of international bestseller Still Alice, a heartfelt novel about friendship and a mother coping with the loss of her autistic son 'I'm always learning about how my brain doesn't work right . . . But it doesn't feel broken to me.' Olivia Donatelli's dream of a 'normal' life was shattered when her son, Anthony, was diagnosed with autism at age three. He didn't speak, hated to be touched, almost never made eye contact. Then, just as Olivia was learning that happiness and autism could coexist after all, Anthony was gone. Now she's alone on Nantucket, desperate to find meaning in her son's short life, when a chance encounter with another woman, Beth, brings Anthony alive again in a most unexpected way. In a piercing story about motherhood, autism and love, two unforgettable women discover the small but exuberant voice that leads them both to the answers they need.
