Before I Go To Sleep
As I sleep my mind will erase everything I did today. I will wake up tomorrow as I did this morning. Thinking Im still a child. Thinking I have a whole lifetime of choice ahead of me.. . Memories define us. So what if you lost yours every time you went to sleep? Your name your identity your past even the people you love - all forgotten overnight. And the one person you trust may only be telling you half the story. Welcome to Christines life. See Judys Review See Richards Review Download A Sample Chapter Of Before I Go To Sleep See S. J. Watson talk about her book Reading Group Questions Read an exclusive Q&A with S. J. Watson Write a Review for Before I Go To Sleep Judys Review Wow. What a creepy disturbing unsettling and thoroughly frightening novel this is. I loved it. So compelling
is Before I Go To Sleep that I finished it in two straight readings before and after lunch. Only good manners and the presence of guests kept me from reading it during lunch. It is one of the most arresting debut novels I have read in years. SJ Watson creates from the first page a psychological thriller with which the reader completely identifies. It is impossible not to imagine how one would cope with the extreme stresses and challenges that Christine wakes up to each and every day. Although she has absolutely no memory of the past she is able to remember what happens during each new day as it unfolds. But when she goes to sleep everything is wiped clean. So Christine keeps a diary in which she records her daily re-births. Her husband Ben tells her about her past; she obsessively writes
it all down. She sees a psychiatrist who is trying to restore her memory and she writes his comments down too. Gradually through the diary she dimly begins to reconstruct the person she once was and might still be. But one day she opens the pages to read a freshly-written sentence. Dont trust Ben. Christine is aghast. She has no comprehension what this warning to herself means. But she is determined to find out. Richards Review Weve all had those where am I? mo"
