具体描述
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.

读后感
快要看完了。这是一本写的很美的书，在阅读的过程中，我的脑海里不断的出现画面感。最令人惊异的是，往往在描写的第一句中，还未成像的，在读到接下来的第二句时，画面会突然扑面而来。比如，书里面有一处，讲诺拉身穿的裙子，第一句在讲，那是一条碎花的裙子，你会觉得，天下...
评分 评分 评分很細膩的描寫,是我喜歡的風格. 我不知道david是出於什麽一種考慮,以至於狠心把自己智障的女兒送到那個收養中心,或許是出於過往的陰影,或許是出於對妻子的保護.可是最後,卻只是好心辦壞事--秘密橫亙在家人中間,形成巨大的鴻溝.這個故事,再次驗證了蝴蝶效應. 其實我覺得這也算...
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...
