nie jest to książka mojego życia, ale była cudowna, delikatna i rozczulająca
DODATKOWYM + były dla mnie wstawki z ciekawostkami matematycznymi (jako dla humanistki, która tęskni za matematyką i liczbami)

A lovely story set in Japan about a Professor needing a housekeeper because of a traumatic head injury. His memory only lady 80 minutes. The housekeeper has a son . Once the Professor learns of the Housekeeper’s son they are introduced and develop a relationship over their love of baseball. This , I believe, is a story about what makes a family.

Absolutely heartwarming. I finished on a flight from Nola to NYC
Is it possible to make mathematics poetic? yes, this book can! while reading the book, i have this urge to read up mpre on prime numbers. The characters are also very likeable and the story is touching and delightful. In short, read this book and you'll not only enjoy a good yarn, you'll see maths as secrets that are found in God's notebook, as what the Professor says.

“He had a special feeling for what he called the 'correct miscalculation,' for he believed that mistakes were often as revealing as the right answers."

Utterly wholesome. I fell in love with the book the moment I laid my eyes on its cover. I'm glad the story didn't disappoint! Also, it's been a while since a book made me cry

This is a sweet story about mutual respect, acts of kindness, and dignity. I enjoyed the characters' innocence and purity of heart. But I didn't realize before I started that the author is literally a mathematician and knows a lot about baseball--the story goes into these subjects at length. At least with the math, you can learn to appreciate the numerical puns alongside the Housekeeper, but you're quite on your own when it comes to baseball plays and jargon.
