Of Swords and Parasols

rachelmanija  is looking for books about amnesia here.  Novels specifically, so no comics, manga, anime, doramas, TV shows, etc.

Specifically:

Please rec me fiction in which a major character has amnesia. Preferably the POV character. And where the amnesia is global, not just specific amnesia over one relatively brief traumatic event.

ETA: A couple sentences describing the book, its amnesia, and what you like about it, if anything, would be greatly appreciated.

1. Written works only; I want to look at how this is handled in prose. So, not manga.

2. I am already familiar with Soldier of the Mist, God Stalk, Nine Princes in Amber,, the Bourne books, and the Black Stallion book where Alex gets amnesia and thinks he's an escaped criminal.

3. I am aware that amnesia in the real world is not like fictional amnesia.

4. What makes us love amnesia?

The idea of losing all one's responsibilities and ties and not having it be one's own fault, and starting out with a completely clean slate, able to do anything at all, is a compelling fantasy for me. And scenes in which someone reacts purely on emotion or muscle memory, suddenly fighting with practiced skill or greeting someone with a kiss, and having no idea why, is one of my favorite cool bits. I am also fascinated by identity crises which may occur when someone thinks they're someone they're actually not, and so begin to act that way.

Go forth and rec.
