Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson

A young woman wakes up in a strange bed with an older man that she has no memory of. She quickly goes to the bathroom and finds a photo of him taped to the mirror, ‘Your husband’ is written underneath. This will happen again the next day, and the next….

Christine has a severe memory deficit and must begin her life anew each morning, relearning both her history and the circumstances of her daily life. As this tense psychological thriller unfolds, we share the daily waking nightmare of Christine’s very small world; one where she is totally reliant on her protective husband.

As Christine’s memory slowly starts to improve, she struggles to piece together information that will answer questions about both her past and her fears.  But, are there some things that are best not remembered?   And, who are we, if we do not know our own history? This is a gripping and suspenseful read that will leave you satisfied.
