"The Memory Keeper's Daughter"

Tweet

Book by Kim Edwards. I just finished this book a few days ago, and I must say, it was the best book I've read in a long time, and I read alot of books. If you have read it, please post your reactions to this very good novel. If you have not read it, may I recommend it. From the back cover: "This stunning novel begins on a winter night in 1964, when a blizzard forces Dr. David Henry to deliver his own twins. His son, born first, is perfectly healthy, but the doctor immediately recognizes that his daughter has Down syndrome. For motives he tells himself are good, he makes a split-second decision that will haunt all their lives forever. He asks his nurse, Caroline, to take the baby away to an institution. Instead, she disappears into another city to raise the child as her own. Compulsively readable and deeply moving, The Memory Keeper's Daughter is a brilliantly crafted story of parallel lives, familial secrets, and the redemptive power of love." Discussion please?
