Title of the Book: Left Neglected
Author: Lisa Genova
Page read: 1~113
This novel caught my eyes while I was
searching for another novel that I had in my mind in the bookstore. Immediately,
I fall in love with its beautiful dark blue cover and enhanced by its uncommon
name, Left Neglect. I read the very first chapter, and I liked it, so I walked
out the bookstore with the novel in my hand instead of the original plan.
This novel is about Sarah, a
hard-working, consulting-firm executive and a mother of three young children.
One day, when she drove to work without dropping the children at daycare, her
mind was spinning with her endless to-do list and she was a bit distracted and
lost her attention for a vital instant. Then the car accident happened. Later
on, Sarah figured that she had traumatic brain injury and she has lost all the awareness
of anything on her left – which is called Left Neglect.
Before I read
this book, I have never even heard of Left Neglect, which is a condition also
known as hemispatial neglect. The story about Sarah definitely opened my eyes
and taught me about this condition which I previously had absolutely no idea about. I think it was
very interesting to learned about the main character, Sarah, both before and
after her accident and know the impact that her condition had not only on
herself but also with the people around her, too.
