She’s a determined woman who, after Ben leaves for work in the morning leaving helpful notes on the whiteboard in the kitchen (“wash windows”, etc), discovers a note in her handbag. Each day is as if she has never been born, and all must be learned anew.įrom this interesting premise the author develops Christine’s character (the book is entirely told from her point of view). The husband, Ben, explains to her that she has amnesia caused by a car crash, and has been in this state for more than 20 years. A woman in her mid-40s, Christine, wakes up in bed one morning next to her husband in a nice north London house, but cannot remember anything about who she is or what she is doing there. As I am the last person in the UK, possibly the world, to read this book, I shall summarise the plot very briefly as I am sure everyone is familiar with it.
