The Memory Keeper's Daughter

THIS IS A FANTASTIC BOOK.

It's set in about the 60's and is about a doctor who's wife goes into labour at night, there's a snow storm & they don't make it to the hospital, instead he stops at his clinic and has his nurse come in to help. The wife delivers twins, and the boy is fine, but the girl he recognises as having 'Down's Syndrome', he asks the nurse to take the baby to an institution, and tells his wife the baby died at birth...... The story is over a 25yr period and is an absolutely amazing story.

Kim Edwards is the author (I think).

Tan, my friend was telling me about this book....and she said it is amazing as well...will have to get a copy smile

I haven't read this one but I would reccomend 'the time travellers wife' I thought it was a great read and a friend who has read both says that they are written in a similar way.

is this fiction or non-fiction?? It sounds great, thanks for the recommendation.

I know this is an ancient post, but i really enjoyed this book.
A friend lent it to me not something i would normally choose myself and it was a fantastic novel.

this is a really well written and moving story. i read it before i had my daughter but i think i might appreciate it a little more if i read it again.

I have read this one as well and I would recommend it grin
