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 Down's 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 the fateful decision made that long-ago winter night. A brilliantly crafted, stunning debut, The Memory Keeper's Daughter explores 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. Performed by Martha Plimpton

評分 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【原文發自:http://blogs.carrielis.com/index.php/158】 上個月二號我收到瞭在五月底於博客來訂購的這本書,其實我一直提不起勇氣看這本書,或許是因為我自己本身也是個母親的關係吧!直至最近這兩天我纔斷斷續續地將這本書看完,果真,我的心,沉甸甸地。 本書探討的...
