Award-winning writer Kim Edwardsas "The Memory Keeperas Daughter" is a brilliantly crafted family drama that explores every motheras silent fear: what would happen if you lost your child and she grew up without you? On a winter night in 1964, Dr. David Henry is forced by a blizzard to deliver his own twins. His son, born first, is perfectly healthy. Yet when his daughter is born, he sees immediately that she has Downas syndrome. Rationalizing it as a need to protect Norah, his wife, he makes a split second decision that will alter all of their lives forever. He asks his nurse to take the baby away to an institution and never to reveal the secret. But Caroline, the nurse, cannot leave the infant. Instead, she disappears into another city to raise the child herself. So begins this beautifully told story that unfolds over a quarter of a century in which these two families, ignorant of each other, are yet bound by David Henryas fateful decision that long-ago winter night. A rich and deeply moving page-turner, "The Memory Keeperas Daughter" captures the way life takes unexpected turns and how the mysterious ties that hold a family together help us survive the heartache that occurs when long-buried secrets burst into the open. It is an astonishing tale of redemptive love.

評分《不存在的女兒》看完已多時,當這本書在豆瓣大熱時我不想多說什麼。不想成為異己,去和追捧著較勁。當最初的熱鬧過後,在這夏日的晚上,靜靜的寫下自己的讀後感。 我非常同情男主人翁戴維,雖然悲劇是他一手造成的。我相信他在萬難中決定送掉患唐氏綜閤癥的菲比是齣於...
評分 評分女兒不是不存在瞭,隻是存在於一個親生父母不知道的國度 並於此國度生活得好好的 縱使看到瞭戴維的內疚與後悔,亦知道他做齣如此一個決定的原因, 縱使明白到菲比如果呆在親生父母身邊並不一定比現在幸福, 可是,依然無法認同將親生兒女拋棄的行為。 此書與其他書相比更注...
