THE MAN WHO FORGOT HIS WIFE
Book ID/图书代码： 01200011B45135
English Summary/英文概要： Wandering around a busy railway station, a confused man realises he has suffered a total memory loss. He doesn’t know where he lives or even his own name. When he’s eventually rescued, he is told that his breakdown has probably been triggered by his marital problems. But finally he comes face to face with the stranger he is supposed to be divorcing – and promptly falls head over heels in love with her. So it is that forty-something Vaughan becomes desperate to win the heart of this beautiful and vivacious woman. His only obstacle; she’s already been married to him for 15 years and now can’t stand the sight of him. It was bad enough all those years when he forgot what she’d told him that morning, forgot to pick up the dry cleaning or forgot their wedding anniversary… But to forget their entire married life together – well, apparently women hate that. THE MAN WHO FORGOT HIS WIFE is a funny and compelling novel about seeing one’s own life and marriage through completely fresh eyes. Along the way, Vaughan meets his own children as if for the first time, learns how to love his job again and gradually recovers various memories, providing nostalgic flashbacks to all the milestones in their relationship and unpicking the mystery of why this marriage went wrong. Does his amnesia provide the chance for him to be a better husband and make this finally marriage work? Or is there perhaps one last memory he has yet to recover that will blow everything wide open?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 徘徊在人潮湧動的火車站，一位困惑的男人意識到他自己正遭受著全部記憶的喪失。當他最終獲救時，他被告之自己可能因為婚姻問題而引發了全面的精神崩潰。但是，但當他面對這位似乎應該離婚的陌生人時， — — 反而卻瞬間地和她墜入愛河之中。
所以這位大概在四十歲左右的沃恩，為了贏得這個美麗活潑的女人的芳心而變得極度絕望。他唯一的障礙是；他們已經結婚15年了，現在這位女士無法忍受再看到他。這些已足夠糟糕地驗證了那些年所有的一切，當他忘了那天早上她對丈夫的關照，忘了取乾洗的衣服或是忘了他們的結婚周年紀念日 ... 更要命的是忘了他們在一起的所有婚姻生活 — — 哦，顯然那是女人們最為痛恨的事情。
沃恩好像是第一次和自己的孩子們相聚，他學會了如何再次熱愛自己的工作和逐漸恢復自己的各種記憶；在他們的相互的關係中重拾以往過去的重要事件，尋覓這段婚姻何處出錯的緣由。他的這次失憶，是否能為他成為一個更好的丈夫創造機會，使他的婚姻終得以最終正常恢復？或者也許他尚未恢復的一個最後的記憶，將會摧毀所有一切？(Sandy)
