This novel opens as a woman is checking into a country inn. She suddenly finds herself unable to remember anything, including her name. She randomly chooses a name, Nelly Dean. When she gets to her room she discovers that she has a suitcase full of cash, and no idea where it came from. She fears that this circumstance might place her in danger, and she senses that perhaps she is supposed to simply wait for the next development.

We follow Nelly as she wanders through the village over the next several days, unsure whether she recognizes the faces and places she encounters.

This book is not a mystery/thriller. Rather it is a psychological exploration of the mind of a disturbed woman, and we begin to wonder whether everything we read exists strictly in Nelly's mind. The book is fairly easy to read, and it is compelling, although the style verges on the edge of surrealism, which I sometimes find difficult to read. ( )

The subject heading for this book said it was about Wuthering Heights.
Hence, I was incredibly confused, as this book has NOTHING to do with this subject.
That said, it was a really interesting and well written book about a women who checks into a hotel and has amnesia. She narrates the entire book; and it is really hard to figure out until the last page what exactly is going on. ( )
