Love Anthony by Lisa Genova

Lisa Genova's novels are works of art.  She takes a hard look at people who suffer from some type of disability.  She forces the reader to be introspective and it is a good thing.  Her characters are believable and interesting. 

Her latest entry, "Love Anthony" offers a closer look at autism.  The story is about two women who are both struggling with who they are.  Beth is the mother of three girls, newly separated from her cheating husband and re-discovering herself in the process  Olivia is separated, on her way to divorce and dealing with the death of her only son.  How these two women's lives become inter-twined is what this story is all about.

This was a terrific story.  I found myself crying at the end.  Each book that I have read by this author is worth reading again.  Her other titles are "Still Alice" and "Left Neglected".  Read them.
