SUMMARY:He is a brilliant maths professor with a peculiar problem — ever since a traumatic head injury seventeen years ago, he has lived with only eighty minutes of short-term memory. She is a sensitive but astute young housekeeper who is entrusted to take care of him. Each morning, as the Professor and the Housekeeper are reintroduced to one another, a strange, beautiful relationship blossoms between them. The Professor may not remember what he had for breakfast, but his mind is still alive with elegant equations from the past. He devises clever maths riddles — based on her shoe size or her birthday — and the numbers reveal a sheltering and poetic world to both the Housekeeper and her ten-year-old son. With each new equation, the three lost souls forge an affection more mysterious than imaginary numbers, and a bond that runs deeper than memory.

    💧Soppy

    Lots of math fun facts wrapped up into a very beautiful, touching stories of three people: The Professor, Root, and 'I'. The simplicity of the story and the characters brought out the best of this book. Recommended for those of you who need light reads.

Цитаты

    He treated Root exactly as he treated prime numbers. For him, primes were the base on which all other natural numbers relied; and children were the foundation of everything worthwhile in the adult world.

    he believed that mistakes were often as revealing as the right answers. This gave us confidence even when our best efforts came to nothing.
