*Released with a new cover in 2016*
Olivia Donatelli's dream of a 'normal' life was shattered when her son, Anthony, was diagnosed with autism at the age of three. He didn't speak. He hated to be touched. He almost never made eye contact. And just as Olivia was starting to realise that happiness and autism could coexist, Anthony died. Now she's alone in a cottage on Nantucket, separated from her husband, desperate to understand the meaning of her son's short life, when a chance encounter with another woman facing her own loss brings Anthony alive again for Olivia in a most unexpected way.
In a piercing story about motherhood, love and female friendship, Lisa Genova offers us two unforgettable women on the verge of change who discover the small but exuberant voice that helps them both find the answers they need.
Love Anthony
A compelling insight into the brain of an autistic child that will forever change how you think about autism, a heart wrenching story that will leave you asking one question....."when is the movie coming out?". - Petrina, QBD West Lakes
