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
