ISBN10: 0312427808, ISBN13: 9780312427801, [publisher: St Martin's Press, New York] Softcover Paperback. Yoko Ogawa's 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. 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 10-year-old son who is hired to ...
