“Really, Lisa Genova’s books don’t need any introduction. She writes with an intelligence, sensitivity and clarity no matter what the human condition addressed in her stories. Inside the O’Briens is no different. Now the second book I’ve read in the last few months that explores Huntington’s Disease, and I’m sort of glad that Genova chose this genetic illness as the subject of this book. Using the form of novel, Genova brings a loving honesty as we witness the struggles of a close-knit Boston Irish family brought down by the ravages of a devastating disease. The message truly is powerful, extremely painful, and somehow uplifting and positive, all at the same time.” — Mara Shapiro, Be Nice or Leave, Thanks Recommend Factor: 9/10 Unputdownable Factor: 10/10
