The Memory Keeper's Daughter
1 journaler for this copy...
I found this to be a very strange book. At times I was hooked, other times bored. After the betrayal itself, it really did take me quite while to get in to the book. It's fairly slow paced, but overall it's a really good read. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to read a book about the dynamics of a complicated family and the damage such a huge secret can have on everyone involved.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BLURB~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Families have secrets they hide even from themselves...
It should have been an ordinary birth, the start of an ordinary happy family. But the night Dr David Henry delivers his wife's twins is a night that will haunt five lives for ever.
For though David's son is a healthy boy, his daughter has Down's syndrome. And, in a shocking act of betrayal whose consequences only time will reveal, he tells his wife their daughter died while secretly entrusting her care to a nurse.
As grief quietly tears apart David's family, so a little girl must make her own way in the world as best she can.
