The Housekeeper and the Professor

This is a beautiful story between the Housekeeper and the Professor. One day, the Housekeeper is employed to take care of a maths professor who is in his 60's. Although he doesn't have any physical ailments, he has a condition-his memory resets every 80 minutes. Yes. Exactly 80 minutes. Now, how the Professor manages his life, what kind of impact the Housekeeper leaves on him and what happens when the Housekeeper's 10 year old son who builds a friendship with the forgetting Professor is something you should read for yourself.

I absolutely loved it. I devoured it in like 3 or 4 sittings. This is a very easy and engaging read with only 180 pages. Although the author doesn't dwell much on each character's history, you would not feel disconnected. This book will leave you with smiles, tears and grief too. It is not really sad but yeah, you get it!

If you love A Man Called Ove, I am sure you would love this one too!
