The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yoko Ogawa

He is a brilliant math professor with a peculiar problem — ever since a traumatic head injury, he has lived with only eighty minutes of short-term memory.  She is an astute young housekeeper, with a ten-year-old son, who is hired to care for him.  And every morning, as the Professor and the Housekeeper are introduced to each other anew, a strange and beautiful relationship blossoms between them.  Though he cannot hold memories for long, the Professor's mind is still alive with elegant equations from the past.  The Housekeeper and the Professor is an enchanting story about what it means to live in the present, and about the curious equations that can create a family.
