The Memory Keeper’s Daughter by Kim Edwards: READ IT!!!!
This book is brilliantly written and entirely engrossing. Not to give anything away, as it is stated on the back cover, the book begins in 1964 when a doctor delivers his own twins and gives away the second baby, who was born with Down’s Syndrome.
He isn’t a bad guy and had what to him were compelling reasons for his deception. But it haunted him, and by association also his wife and son. It affected the lives of others too. The characters are so well written, you feel for all of them
I must warn you though. 20 or so pages from the end there’s a passage that you shouldn’t read in public unless you have no problem at all crying. This morning I was very sweaty when I got on the subway and I think I got away with it; the couple of tears that sneaked out of my left eye as I turned away to collect myself, indistinguishable from the beads of perspiration running down my face.
If you do read it or have read it, please post your comments here. I can’t imagine anyone won’t count this as one of the better books they have ever read.
