Sinossi
Ogni mattina Christine si sveglia senza ricordi. Non sa a chi appartenga la casa in cui si trova, l'uomo che le dorme accanto le è totalmente estraneo, e anche il suo viso, riflesso nello specchio del bagno, non solo non le è familiare, ma le sembra molto meno giovane di quanto secondo lei dovrebbe essere. È suo marito a darle quotidianamente le coordinate della sua vita, a spiegarle chi è lui, chi è lei, e che cosa le è successo anni prima, un incidente che ha modificato radicalmente la sua vita, privandola dei ricordi e costringendola a ricominciare ogni giorno in un difficile apprendimento dell'esistere. Ma Ben le dice tutto? E se è così, perché non le ha parlato del dottor Nash, un giovane neuropsichiatra deciso a studiare il suo caso, con cui Christine si incontra di tanto in tanto e che la spinge a tenere un diario? E perché su una pagina di questo diario Christine ha scritto "non fidarti di Ben"? Giorno dopo giorno, con l'aiuto del dottor Nash, lampi di memoria attraversano la mente di Christine, tessere baluginanti di un mosaico che fatica a ricomporsi nella sua interezza e che, con il passare del tempo, le sembra sempre più minaccioso e inquietante. Finché dal passato emergerà il vero pericolo, quello che senza che lei ne sia consapevole si è appropriato della sua vita.

Recensioni
“What are we, if not an accumulation of our memories?” I've had my eye on this book since before it was released and last night I decided it was finally time. I really wanted a psychological thriller that would keep me guessing. And did it deliver? Well, let's just say I was up until 2am, partly Leggi tutto
I only read reviews on Goodreads after I have read a book. I do this because after reading those reviews I wonder if I have read the same book as those reviewing it. Most start by giving a somewhat lengthly explanation of the plot of the book. Why? tell me what you thought. I know what it is about.
I think I tend to judge books more harshly when I listen to them because I can't skim the text or skip parts that bore me. BUT I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE THAT'S JUST MORE HONEST. Before I Go to Sleep is a highly improbable novel that's practically a fantasy. A very slow, drawn-out, horribly written fantasy. Leggi tutto
My negative attitude is a ruse, I swear it. I am such a positive little outlooker. Nearly every book I read starts off with five stars in my head. It barely has to earn anything; it just has to hold on to what it started with. But wow, this book fell off a cliff or something! What the hell happened? Leggi tutto
Argh. What a frustrating book. I want someone else I know to read it so I can discuss it with them, to see if they agree with my conclusion. Sarah, you should read it and let me know what you think. I really really liked this book in the beginning. The concept, while not strictly novel (I can recall Leggi tutto
June 15th 2am 2011 I am writing this down in my journal I must do this otherwise I fear tomorrow I might not remember anything. Anything about the book I read today or about me or my wife, well she says she is. I woke up this morning and my eyes were cast upon a striking beautiful woman in an even mo Leggi tutto
Omg! I am totally speechless. This book was amazing. It had a great plot about a woman who has amnesia and cannot remember her memories from day to day. She begins to keep a journal and remember certain events in her life. From there the book is amazing! I definitely recommend this! If you want a pa Leggi tutto
This book was interesting to say the least! Woman who can't retain new memories after an accident (wakes up every day not remembering the last), decides to try and improve her condition. She sees a doctor in secret and writes her daily life in a journal she hides from her husband. I liked how you trul Leggi tutto
