A very interesting book that leaves you pondering. Not as good as her other book, "The History of Love", though!

From the backflap:
"Samson Greene, a young and popular professor at Columbia, is found wandering in the Nevada desert. When his wife, Anna, comes to bring him home, she finds a man who remembers nothing, not even his own name. The removal of a small brain tumor saves his life, but his memories beyond the age of twelve are permanently lost.

Here is the story of a strikingly intelligent, sensitive man returned to a world in which everything is strange and new. An emigrant in his own life, set free from everything and everyone who once defined him, Samson Greene believes he has nothing left to lose. So when a charismatic scientist asks Samson to participate in a bold experiment, he agrees. What he gains is nothing short of the beautifully painful revelation of what it is to be a human being."

Going to LESEHEST in Norway as a RABCK! Hope you'll like the book! :D

Not as good as "The History of Love" but raises some interesting questions. This was my beach read for July and I was going to wild release it in Croatia, but didn't finish it in time. Making this available now, hope it finds a good home.
