Critiques en avant-première

A PICADOR PAPERBACK ORIGINAL. From one of Japan's most beloved bestselling authors, Yoko Ogawa, comes an achingly beautiful story about family, memory and math. He is a brilliant math professor with a peculiar problem—since a traumatic head injury, he has lived with only eighty minutes of short-term memory. She is an astute young housekeeper with a ten-year-old son who is hired to care of him. Thought the Professor can hold new memories for only eighty minutes, his mind is still alive with elegant equations from the past; and through him, the numbers, in all of their articulate order, reveal a sheltering and poetic world to both the housekeeper and her son.
