The Housekeeper and the Professor
The Housekeeper and the Professor: A Novel
by Yoko Ogawa
The Beauty of Nothingness (5/9/2011)
The book has high ambitions (explain the role of memory in love, or such) resting on odd plot devices (math professor with memory loss, uneducated housekeeper and 10 year-old son getting to love professor through their fascination with numbers theory). While the sentences are written in beautiful prose, the whole of the book to me does not add up to much substance.
