Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson | PDF + MOBI | 1 MB | Ebook Free Download
Description:
Before I Go to Sleep drinks purer water from a deeper well. A first novel by an NHS audiologist who wrote it in between shifts at London's St Thomas's Hospital, it's exceptionally accomplished like David Nicholls's One Day, a brilliant example of how an unpromisingly high-concept idea can be transformed by skilful execution. In some ways it's an inversion of Borges's story "Funes, the Memorious", about a Uruguayan man who, after an accident, is unable either to forget anything or classify his memories in a way that might stop them overwhelming him. After surviving what she believes was a car crash, Chrissie developed a form of amnesia which has left her able to store memories for only 24 hours. Every morning when she wakes she has forgotten the circumstances of her life and must relearn them from scratch: who her husband Ben is, where they live, whether or not they have children.
