Christine wakes in a strange bed beside a man she does not recognise. In the bathroom shefinds a photograph of him taped to the mirror, and beneath it the words 'Your husband'.
Each day, Christine wakes knowing nothing of her life. Each night, her mind erases the day. Butbefore she goes to sleep, she will recover fragments from her past, flashbacks to the accidentthat damaged her, and then-mercifully-she will forget.
Chilling, exquisitely crafted and compulsively readable, S. J. Watson's debut novel Before I Go toSleep is a psychological thriller of the highest order. It asks primary questions. Are there thingsbest not remembered? Who are we if we do not know our own history? How do we lovewithout memory?
S. J. Watson's brilliant novel is now a major motion film directed by Rowan Joffe (Brighton Rock),starring Academy Award winners Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth.
