Kim Edwardsas stunning family drama evokes the spirit of Sue Miller and Alice Sebold, articulating every motheras silent fear: what would happen if you lost your child and she grew up without you? In 1964, when a blizzard forces Dr. David Henry to deliver his own twins, he immediately recognizes that one of them has Down Syndrome and makes a split-second decision that will haunt all their lives forever. He asks his nurse to take the baby away to an institution and to keep her birth a secret. Instead, she disappears into another city to raise the child as her own.

这是一个特别伤感的故事:有着美好生活的亨利夫妇,在一个寒夜迎来了双胞胎儿女,但丈夫发现女儿患有“唐氏综合症”,便瞒着妻子,委托护士卡罗琳把孩子送到福利院,然后骗妻子诺拉说女儿死了。“唐氏综合症”是一种因为婴儿细胞染色体异常引起的疾病,会使婴儿有轻度或中度的...
评分《不存在的女儿》看完已多时,当这本书在豆瓣大热时我不想多说什么。不想成为异己,去和追捧着较劲。当最初的热闹过后,在这夏日的晚上,静静的写下自己的读后感。 我非常同情男主人翁戴维,虽然悲剧是他一手造成的。我相信他在万难中决定送掉患唐氏综合症的菲比是出于...
评分骨骼与亲情,有同等的秘密属性 于是 任何看这个故事的人,都会做一种徒劳的假设:假如没有那场大雪,妇产科医生如期而至,后来会发生什么?假如双胞胎生下后,接生护士不是卡罗琳,那会怎样?就算仍是卡罗琳,她没有承担下抚养唐氏症女婴的、自封的责任,又会怎样?假如生母诺...
评分女儿不是不存在了,只是存在于一个亲生父母不知道的国度 并于此国度生活得好好的 纵使看到了戴维的内疚与后悔,亦知道他做出如此一个决定的原因, 纵使明白到菲比如果呆在亲生父母身边并不一定比现在幸福, 可是,依然无法认同将亲生儿女抛弃的行为。 此书与其他书相比更注...
评分【原文發自:http://blogs.carrielis.com/index.php/158】 上個月二號我收到了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!直至最近這兩天我才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...
哪哪都那么到位
评分哪哪都那么到位
评分折服于作者Kim Edwards对简洁文字的驾驭和调遣,极为简洁的句子,塑造出所有应当被想象的场景。风吹、雨落、车响、门晃……,成堆的细节,恰如其分地,呼应了各番人物的不同心理。
评分其實我也不太明白,有的書總是能突然一下紅起來~~
评分坦诚,对相爱的两个人来说太重要了。喜欢作者冷静、清淡的笔触
