Still Alice is a 2007 novel by Lisa Genova, a neuroscientist and author. The novel is about a woman who suffers early-onset Alzheimer's disease. It is Genova's first novel.[1]

Genova self-published the book in 2007 with iUniverse. Beverly Beckham of The Boston Globe wrote, "After I read Still Alice I wanted to stand up and tell a train full of strangers, 'You have to get this book.'"[2] Beckham notes that the story is told from the inside: "This is Alice Howland's story, for as long as she can tell it."[2]

The book was later acquired by Simon & Schuster and published in January 2009 by Pocket Books (now Gallery Books). It was on The New York Times Best Seller list for more than 40 weeks. It has been sold in 30 countries and translated into more than 20 languages.[3]
