I found this book, The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yoko Ogawa to be poignant and charming. The professor taught mathematics until an accident took away his short term memory. He can remember anything before 1975 and only what has happened in the past 80 minutes. The housekeeper and her son come into his life and develop a friendship with him, strange as it is when they have to reintroduce themselves to him every day.
