I was catching-up on all my bookish research and came across this little gem over at Book Group Buzz, The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yoko Ogawa. When I read the article, it reminded me a lot of that T.V show from the seventies, The Courtship of Eddie’s Father. Now, I was too young to watch this show when it first came out (ahem) so I watched it in repeats…yeah, that’s right.
Anyway, click here for the Book Group Buzz article. It comes out in February and I am adding it to my TBR list right now. Doesn’t it sound good? I love the cover too. Cherry blossoms against a blue sky with some mathematical symbols thrown in. This is the same author who wrote The Diving Pool: Three Novellas which also looks very interesting.

I was just the right age to watch The Courtship of Eddie’s Father, I’m sad to say.
This sounds like an intriguing book, although I’ve never heard of The Courtship of Eddie’s Father!
Ugh, Avis is making me feel old(er) with her comment! Of course, I only know of “Courtship of Eddie’s Father” from a Trivial Pursuit question 🙂 🙂Ti, I read a review of this book at 3M’s site (1morechapter.com). It’s on my list, too.
