Before I Go to
Sleep by S.J. Watson. Library Call Number: PR6123.A884B44 2011.
Every day,
Christine Lucas wakes up and doesn’t know her name or the name of the man in
bed next to her. She has no memories at
all until he tells her he’s her husband, Ben, that they are married and that
she’s had a car accident that has damaged her brain’s ability to remember. She
has been this way for a number of years, ever since the accident. But,
lately, each day after Ben goes to work, Christine gets a phone call from a man
who says he’s her doctor, who tells her to look for a journal she is keeping
hidden in the closet. The journal
contains all the pages she has written in the course of days past, where she is
attempting to recollect and recreate her life.
There are glimpses of friends and family in the journal, shadows of
people who might once have been important in her life, although she can’t
remember them. And written in the front
cover are three unsettling words: Don’t trust Ben.
