This should be required reading for families dealing with left neglect. My mother has left neglect after a massive stroke. She also has severe cognitive difficulties, so she is unable to explain her behavior. Numerous times while I was reading this book I would think "So that's why she does that!" Very accurate description of behaviors.

Good medical novel
Like "Still Alice", this book is loaded with facts about a medical condition. "Left Neglected" is about a rare condition which occurs after an auto accident.
Besides all the very interesting medical info, the story is well done. This was a selection from my Book Club. We all loved it and none of us had heard of the condition.
