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.
《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...
評分在中国传统文化中,生父母比养父母更值得尊敬。发肤受之于父母,且无权使其有丝毫毁损,更不用提生命本身了。生育乃一重恩,养育又是一重,双恩并施,是儿女一辈子也还不完的债。 然而我们看到,越来越多的西方作品开始探讨,甚至质疑这个定论。《不存在的女儿》和《...
評分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...

Kinokuniya bestseeler 上架好久瞭
评分有些人,在我們不知道的角落裏溫暖我們。
评分人物和事情刻畫太細緻瞭????讀起來太纍瞭
评分Sad and touching ... 挺喜歡作者的文筆,細細的,娓娓道來,一幅幅淡淡畫麵描齣一個簡單而戲劇化的開篇和由此引齣的復雜的故事。
评分有的時候,造就終身苦痛的隻是一瞬間的抉擇
