ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yoko Ogawa tells the story of a newly hired housekeeper for a brilliant mathematics professor who suffers from a peculiar form of amnesia; his memory resets every eighty minutes due to a past accident. The narrative follows their daily interactions, which are often mediated by notes the Professor pins to his suit to remember essential information, including the existence of the housekeeper and her son, whom he nicknames Root. Despite his memory limitations, the Professor shares his passion for numbers with the housekeeper and Root, leading to unexpected bonds and discoveries. The book explores themes of memory, the beauty and order of mathematics, and the profound connections that can form in unusual circumstances.
