The Man Who Forgot His Wife, John O'Farrell

Read in paperback, borrowed from Granny.

Having previously enjoyed May Contain Nuts by John O'Farrell, when I saw this book on Granny's book shelf I picked it up.

And what a charming piece of nonsense it turned out to be.  The plot was very similar to What Alice Forgot, this book was set in the UK, with a very English sense of humour.

Jack Vaughan wakes up on the tube, and finds out that he cannot remember any personal details, not even his own name.  After spending a week in hospital as "unknown white male", he discovers he has friends and a beautiful wife.  The problem is that they were about to get divorced, and the amnesia has been caused by the stress.

Essentially a book about being given a second chance to save a marriage which has disintegrated through neglect, this is definitely a feel good tale.
