Опис
The
multi-million copy bestseller, Kim Edwards' The Memory Keeper's
Daughter is a moving and poignant novel about grief, family and
betrayal.
Families
have secrets they hide even from themselves...
It should have
been an ordinary birth, the start of an ordinary happy family. But the night Dr
David Henry delivers his wife's twins is a night that will haunt five lives for
ever.
For though
David's son is a healthy boy, his daughter has Down's syndrome. And, in a
shocking act of betrayal whose consequences only time will reveal, he tells his
wife their daughter died while secretly entrusting her care to a nurse.
As grief
quietly tears apart David's family, so a little girl must make her own way in
the world as best she can.
'Crafted with
language so lovely you have to reread the passages just to be captivated all
over again . . . this is simply a beautiful book' Jodi Picoult
'I loved this
riveting story with its intricate characters and beautiful language' Sue Monk
Kidd, author of the best-selling, The Secret Life of Bees
