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.

評分村上春树说,小说家就是职业的说谎家,只是小说家能够把真相带到新的地方并赋予它新的光彩。看完《不存在的女儿》才理解这句话。我总是没有耐心去看虚构的东西,但封面上那个白色的蕾丝小衫柔弱而静谧,让人忍不住去抚一抚。一个深夜里终于把书翻到末尾,一些小小的总结式的高...
