In Love Anthony, one of our two main characters is Beth who is going through a devastating time in her life when her husband of 14 years cheats on her. As a way of coping, she starts writing a novel about a boy with autism, told through the boys voice. Our second main character is Olivia, a woman running from the memories of her autistic son who has recently passed after suffering a seizure. The paths of these two women unexpectedly cross at a time when they both are at a turning point - one which will make or break them.
I read this book in 2 days. It was amazing. It gives such an amazing voice to autism that you wonder if Lisa Genova has some sort of insight into the minds of these kids. For anyone who works with kids who have autism, parents with kids who have autism or truly anyone who has ever come across someone with autism, you MUST read this. It is amazing. (And read the other books by this author as well...you won't be disappointed.)
