The Memory Keeper's Daughter
1 personnes sur 1 ont jugé cet avis utile. I bought this book for my book club's monthly selected reading. It tells a morally challenging story, quite heartbreaking really. A doctor is forced to deliver his children when a snowstorm prevents him and his wife from making it to the hospital. The first child is born and is "perfect son", but the second child, a little girl, has Down's Syndrome, which shocks and saddens the doctor. His wife had passed out from the labor and he gives the baby to his nurse to take to a nearby institution. He then tells his wife their daughter died. The nurse decides she can't leave the baby at the institution and raises the baby as her own. The book chronicles the next 25 years of each family dealing with that fateful night's events. Throughout the book, one begins to wonder if the mother will ever find out the truth and if so, will it be through the eventual honesty of her husband or the nurse?
