Still Alice by Lisa Genova 

Written from the point of view of Alice Howland, who becomes aware of changes to memory capacity and is eventually diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Alice is a Harvard professor, researcher, lecturer, wife and mother.

Bit by bit her ability for remembering diminishes and a sadness and fear sets in. The book follows her family’s and colleagues reactions and her career’s decline and gives an understanding form the sufferer’s point of view, enjoyed by most and insightful.
