Book of the Month - Before I Go To Sleep - July 2012

The Book

What would happen if you didn't have any memories of who you are and what you've done the day before or in the days previously? What if each day you wake up not remembering how old you are or who your partner is?

S J Watson uses this scenario as the basis for his first novel, a thriller about a woman with amnesia which has quickly become a bestseller.

Is this book the compelling page turner that reviews suggest or does the plot fall short? Find out by joining us at our discussion about the book on Thursday 12 July!

The Author

Steven 'S. J.' Watson was born in Stourbridge, West Midlands. He graduated in Physics from Birmingham University and then worked in the NHS as an audiology specialist, while writing in his spare time. He then enrolled on the Faber Academy creative writing course where he was introduced to a top literary agent, Clare Conville who agreed to represent him. Buoyed by her advice, he sent out his manuscript which was quickly snapped up by publishers Transworld and is now being made into a Hollywood film directed by Roland Joffe and starring Nicole Kidman.
