About this listen
From neuroscientist and New York Times best-selling author of Still Alice comes a powerful and heartbreaking exploration of regret, forgiveness, freedom, and what it means to be alive.
An accomplished concert pianist, Richard received standing ovations from audiences all over the world in awe of his rare combination of emotional resonance and flawless technique. Every finger of his hands was a finely calibrated instrument, dancing across the keys and striking each note with exacting precision. That was eight months ago.
Richard now has ALS, and his entire right arm is paralyzed. His fingers are impotent, still, devoid of possibility. The loss of his hand feels like a death, a loss of true love, a divorce - his divorce.
He knows his left arm will go next.
Three years ago, Karina removed their framed wedding picture from the living room wall and hung a mirror there instead. But she still hasn't moved on. Karina is paralyzed by excuses and fear, stuck in an unfulfilling life as a piano teacher, afraid to pursue the path she abandoned as a young woman, blaming Richard and their failed marriage for all of it.
When Richard becomes increasingly paralyzed and is no longer able to live on his own, Karina becomes his reluctant caretaker. As Richard's muscles, voice, and breath fade, both he and Karina try to reconcile their past before it's too late.
Poignant and powerful, Every Note Played is a masterful exploration of redemption and what it means to find peace inside of forgiveness.

In Remember, neuroscientist and acclaimed novelist Lisa Genova delves into how memories are made and how we retrieve them. You'll learn whether forgotten memories are temporarily inaccessible or erased forever and why some memories are built to exist for only a few seconds (like a passcode) while others can last a lifetime (your wedding day). You'll come to appreciate the clear distinction between normal forgetting (where you parked your car) and forgetting due to Alzheimer's (that you own a car).

As the war begins, Hanna Rombauer, a young German woman, is sent to live with her aunt and uncle after her mother’s death. Thrown into a life of luxury she never expected, Hanna soon finds herself unwillingly matched with an SS officer twenty years her senior. The independence that her mother lovingly fostered in her is considered highly inappropriate as the future wife of an up-and-coming officer and she is sent to a “bride school.” There, in a posh villa on the outskirts of town, Hanna is taught how to be a “proper” German wife.

Lisa Genova delivers.
As usual, Lisa Genova comes across with a story that puts the reader in that place. You feel the pain, the frustration, and the joy of life. The research that goes into her work is amazing. I wait for her novels. #Audible 1

Amazing book
This is a rare beautiful book that takes you inside two worlds that shouldn’t intersect but do; ALS and the life of a classical pianist. The people are very real, flawed, facing heartbreaking decisions. You know where the book will end up in one sense but the tension between the characters keeps you wondering whether they will survive emotionally too. The performances are just superb. I will definitely listen to this one time and again.

Amazing
Oh my goodness! Lisa Genova’s writing, descriptions and the words that come to life are so incredibly powerful. There is not one experience Lisa describes in this book of Richard or his loved ones that was not spot on! I work with ALS clients. I’ve never met one I didn’t love! The devastating trajectory of this disease and how it slowly robs people of function, independence and hope is to heartbreaking to watch. Praying a cure is found.

What a wonderful listen and lessons in LIVING and letting go with ALS
Lisa Genova... another amazing story that takes you INTO the story. Beautifully read in character by the actors. I listened to this on a road trip with my 14 year old son, before long he had put his game aside and was listening along with me, asking to listen to more each time we got back in the car and the conversations we had.... priceless. Have your Kleenex ready and get r day to expand your heart and understanding. #Audible1
