Summary: "He is a brilliant math Professor with a peculiar problem - ever 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 for the Professor. The Housekeeper and the Professor is an enchanting story about what it means to live in the present, and about the curious equations that can create a family." -Amazon
Written in simple language with unnamed characters, this is a beautiful, peaceful novel about kindness and the unique bonds between humans. Because the professor is a math genius, math is elegantly utilized throughout the book to emphasize the wonder of the natural world and our place in it.
Don't let the length of this book fool you. It is one of the most moving novels I've read in a while.
