The Memory Keeper's Daughter

Kim Edwards?s stunning family drama evokes the spirit of Sue Miller and Alice Sebold, articulating every mother?s silent fear: what would happen if you lost your child and she grew up without you? In 1964, when a blizzard forces Dr. David Henry to deliver his own twins, he immediately recognizes that one of them has Down Syndrome and makes a split-second decision that will haunt all their lives forever. He asks his nurse to take the baby away to an institution and to keep her birth a secret. Instead, she disappears into another city to raise the child as her own. Compulsively readable and deeply moving, The Memory Keeper?s Daughter is an astonishing tale of redemptive love.  more

Delicately, Profoundly Beautiful

It takes Kim Edwards a little longer than some others would have taken to tell the same tale, but it is in the delicate details of this novel that lies the true beauty of The Memory Keeper's Daughter. Utterly beautiful descriptions of...

I enjoyed it.

I did enjoy this novel. While David the father, the doctor, the husband who made a terrible decision the night his twins were born, as mad as I was at him, he felt he was doing the best thing, based on his own grief and trauma he...

A decent read

I read this book for my book club. It is a decent read. The plot is unusual and the story moves at a quick enough pace. Others have described the storyline, etc. so I won't. I found the characters likeable but flawed -- so they are...

Realism makes this work

From one man's fateful decision made on a stormy winter night, Kim Edwards creates a pretty compelling 401-page story spanning two decades. What keeps this book from becoming a slogging soap opera is the realism of her characters. After...

I only finished it because its the only reading matieral I brought on the plane :(

It started out well enough but I have to agree with the other reviews, the book was too focused on making the Father the bad guy while the women play "victim".Two stars because it had potential and was hard to put down during the initial...
