The Housekeeper and the Professor

A beautiful story about family, memory and Math, written by Yoko Ogawa. It tells about a brilliant Math professor with a peculiar problem -ever since a traumatic head injury- he has lived with only eighty minutes of short-term memory and a young hoesekeeper with a ten-yr-old son, who is hired to care for him.

Every morning, a strange and beautiful relationship blossom between them. The story moves a bit slow but enchanting. What bothers me is the Math theory and stuff that spread all over this book. Since Math is not really my thing, so I have to skip certain pages in order not to get headache *lemot mode on*. But all in all this is a touchy story. Still.
