One of this year’s most
anticipated films, Before I Go
To Sleep features Nicole
Kidman as Christine Lucas,
who every time goes to sleep
forgets everything in her past
and remembers nothing in the
morning. Colin Firth plays Ben
Lucas, Christine’s husband
while Mark Strong takes the
role of her doctor. Ridley Scott
was the one who acquired the
film rights and then went on to
hire Rowan Joffe as director.!
The book was published in 2011 as
S. J. Watson’s first novel. It became
both a Sunday Times and New York
Times bestseller, and has been
translated into over 40 languages. S. J.
Watson wrote the novel whilst working
shifts at the NHS as an audiologist.
