The Things We Keep by Sally Hepworth is a novel about a young woman Anna, only 38, diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. She is placed in an assisted living facility with older people and one younger man named Luke, only 41, who also has Alzheimer's. While their memories quickly begin to fade, they find unexpected happiness with each other.
A sad, tender and compassionate look at this disease and how it affects families as well. Not as good as Still Alice, by Lisa Genova, but still a worthwhile read.
