Handsome
By Ezra Palmer
Evvie Kurtz remembers everything.
Evvie Kurtz has Alzheimer’s disease.
“Handsome” is Evvie’s story, told in her own voice: How she grew up on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, a scholarship girl at one of the city’s fanciest day schools. How she made a name for herself as a journalist. How she met and married her husband. How she loved him for all his faults. And how she came to the decision to leave him.
Evvie will forget her story.
You will not.

“An unforgettable portrayal of living with Alzheimer’s…. Handsome is moving, and quietly devastating—a story that will stay with me for a very long time.”—Goodreads reviewer
