Los recuerdos nos definen. ¿Qué pasaría si usted pierde su memoria cada vez que va a dormir? Su nombre, su identidad, su pasado, incluso la gente que ama, todo olvidado durante la noche. Y la única persona que usted confía, puede estar diciendo sólo la mitad de la historia.
IDIOMA ORIGINAL
A gripping psychological thriller in the vein of Shutter Island and the film Memento, an amnesiac attempts to reconstruct her past by keeping a journal and discovers the dangerous inconsistencies in the stories of her husband and her secret doctor.Christine wakes up every morning in an unfamiliar bed with an unfamiliar man. She looks in the mirror and sees an unfamiliar, middle-aged face. And every morning, the man she wakes up to must explain that he is Ben, he is her husband, she is forty-seven-years-old, and a terrible accident two decades earlier decimated her ability to form new memories.But it’s the phone call from a Dr. Ed Nash, a neurologist who claims to be working with Christine in his office across London without her husband’s knowledge, that directs her to a notebook, her journal, hidden in the back of her closet. For the past few weeks, Christine has been recording her daily activities—tearful mornings with Ben, sessions with Dr. Nash, flashes of scenes from her former life—and rereading past entries, relearning the facts of her life as retold by the husband she has become completely dependent upon. As the entries build up, inconsistencies in Ben’s account jump off the page. What was life like before the accident? Do they have a child? What has happened to Christine’s best friend? And what exactly was the horrific accident that caused such a profound loss of memory?Every day, Christine must begin again the reconstruction of her past. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more unbelievable it seems.
