A propos du livre

Revue de presse

“Remember how you couldn’t put down Still Alice? Well, clear your schedule—because you’re going to feel the same way.”
--JODI PICOULT
Then we are using this full quote, with full attribution, on top of back cover:

"The journey Lisa Genova takes us on in LEFT NEGLECTED is a personal one, for any woman who's ever had to make a business call while driving to day care, or who finishes a full day's work at a high-powered job only to start the second shift as a mom: sometimes, we literally need a shock to the system to remember what matters the most in life. Remember how you couldn't put down STILL ALICE? Well, clear your schedule - because you're going to feel the same way."

- Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of HOUSE RULES and SING YOU HOME
“Lisa Genova is the Michael Crichton of brain science. What she proved with Still Alice, she proves again with Left Neglected. This is huge, powerful human drama at its elegant best."
--Jacquelyn Mitchard, New York Times bestselling author of The Deep End of the Ocean

“As Sarah Nickerson works her way through a devastating brain injury and back into her hectic life, she is forced to re-evaluate what really matters. I dare any reader to not do the same in their own lives after reading this book.”
--Ann Hood, author of Comfort, The Red Thread and Somewhere Off the Coast of Maine
“Lisa Genova has done it again! By turns chilling and deeply moving, Left Neglected is a stunning reminder that a single moment can change a life....A Triumph on many levels”

"Achingly real. Beautifully written. Lisa Genova takes us on a moving journey of loss, forgiveness, hope, love and the resilience of the human spirit."

-- Julia Fox Garrison, author of Don’t Leave Me This Way

"Intuitive and captivating. In this moving chronicle of a family's struggle with brain injury, Lisa Genova powerfully conveys the shattering trials of an ordinary life made alien by brain injury, and in the process reveals the true power and strength of the human spirit. Left Neglected will leave you stunned and inspired."

-- Michael Paul Mason, author of Head Cases: Stories of Brain Injury and Its Aftermath

“Devastating and hopeful, haunting and familiar, Left Neglected is a triumph of insight and empathy."
-- Stefan Merrill Block, International Bestselling author of The Story of Forgetting and The Storm at the Door
“Once again, Lisa Genova goes where few authors dare, and mines a compelling and beautifully written story about finding peace, wisdom and human connection. While Sarah Nickerson’s condition is rare, her journey is universal. “
--Lynn Kiele Bonasia, author of Summer Shift

Quatrième de couverture

'The journey Lisa Genova takes us on in Left Neglected is a personal one, for any woman who's ever had to make a business call while driving to day care, or who finishes a full day's work at a high-powered job only to start the second shift as a mom: sometimes, we literally need a shock to the system to remember what matters the most in life. Remember how you couldn't put down Still Alice? Well, clear your schedule - because you're going to feel the same way' Jodi Picoult, Number One Bestselling Author of House Rules and Sing You Home
Sarah Nickerson has it all: the high-flying career, the loving family, the second home. But between excelling at work; shuttling the kids to football, day care, and piano lessons; convincing her son's teacher that he may not, in fact, have ADD; and making it home in time for dinner, it's a wonder this over-scheduled, over-achiever has time to breathe.
Sarah manages every minute of her life like an air traffic controller, until one fateful day, while driving to work, she looks away from the road for one second too long. In the blink of an eye, her chaotic life comes to a screeching halt. A traumatic brain injury completely erases the left side of her world. For once, Sarah must relinquish control to those around her, including her formerly absent mother. As she wills herself to heal, Sarah must learn that a happiness greater than all the success in the world is close within reach, if only she slows down long enough to notice.
