The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards

Published in 2005. 401 pages.


My friend Cynthia recommended this novel to me about a year and a half ago. I finally got to it (as part of my Spring Reading Thing list), and I'm very glad I did.

A heart-wrenching story, it is still a hopeful one. Relationships, secrets, choices, the power of love, and the politics of disabilities all play a role in this first novel by Kim Edwards.

The novel's website is here.

  1. Thanks for the link, alisonwonderland. I read the excerpt there and wow, this does sound like a heart-wrenching story. The tenderness he seems to have for his wife before their babies are born is very touching. I'll have to read this one. I'm eager to find out how the author presents his decision and its consequence...
