Although this book is a departure from the types of books that I usually read, I enjoyed this novel from start to finish.Ogawa tells the story of the relationships between the 3 main characters—a math professor, his housekeeper, and her son. Following an accident, the professor is unable to retain memories for longer than 80 minutes at a time. He remains forever in the year 1975.I thought this was a beautifully written story about time, relationships, and the power of memory.
