Left Neglected

I enjoyed this novel Left Neglected by Lisa Genova as I could relate to a lot of it with my present situation. Sarah Nickerson is on her way to work when, looking for her mobile phone, she has a serious accident which leaves her brain damaged with a condition called "left neglect". This means her brain doesn't recognise anything on her left side, including her own left body. Sarah had been a "supermum", juggling high powered career and family but then she is forced to literally slow down and reassess her life priorities. Her estranged mother re-enters her life and there are new challenges for her husband Bob as well. This is beautifully written as the author describes the loving care given Sarah by her husband. 4/5
