The Housekeeper and The Professor

This lovely little gem of a novel was a thought provoking read. The story is told from the voice of a housekeeper assigned to a retired Mathematics professor suffering from short term memory loss. While he can't remember her from day to day, he forms a relationship with her 10 year old son and they all find connection through the in depth knowledge of numbers and their magical relationship to the everyday. I found myself ruminating on both the infinite wonder of number relationships and the emotions tied to our memory. It was a wonderful read.

Definitely a favorite read from the last decade. Very intelligent and thoughtful book about loss and 911, especially as the main voice is a young boy.
