The Memory Keeper's Daughter (by Kim Edwards)

I have read the Memory Keeper's Daughter. It was a very interesting and enjoyable book. The book has been a very famous book, being the multi-million copy number one United States bestseller.

One winter night, Norah Henry was going to born her children. Her husband, Dr. David Henry had to deliver the babies himself as it was very cold winter that time. His son was a healthy infant, but unfortunately, his daughter had Down's syndrome. Dr. David Henry also had a sister with Down's syndrome, who passed away when she was still young. Not wanting his wife to suffer the same grief as he hmself had suffered when losing his own sister, he entrusted the care of his daughter to a nurse, Caroline Gill. He was unaware of the dire consequences such an betraying act would cause on the whole family.

The author of The Memory Keeper's Daughter, Kim Edwards, is an assistant proffessor of English in the University of Kentucky. She has won many awards for the books she has written.

Some of the praise for The Memory Keeper's Daughter are:

'Simply beautiful' Jodi Picoult

'An absolutely mesmerizing premise, drawing you deeply and irrevocably into the entangled lives of two families and the devastating secret that shapes them both. Riveting' Sue Monk Kidd, author of The Secret Life of Bees

I strongly encourage you to read it, if you have not.
