Growing up with people all around her - family, classmates, workmates, and friends - Jean Gilbert was a high achiever at school and appeared set for a happy and full life. But behind her composed smile hid a brain disorder that had haunted her since her early youth. Though she didn't even know about it until her twenties, Jean suffers from Face Blindness. She can't recognize anyone: not even when she looks at herself in the mirror.In this fascinating memoir, Jean opens up about her struggles with prosopagnosia - the medical name for this poorly understood condition. Candid, humorous and thought-provoking, her own recollections are balanced with the engaging, and sometimes contradictory, observations from those closest to her.The Picasso Mirror is a story about understanding the effects Face Blindness has on everyday life, and about ultimately coming to terms with the disorder. With Jean now a successful woman - dual career, loving family, busy life - this is also a powerful tale of perseverance and of an inspiring approach to life's battles.
