具体描述
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 Down's 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 the fateful decision made that long-ago winter night. A brilliantly crafted, stunning debut, The Memory Keeper's Daughter explores 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. Performed by Martha Plimpton

评分 评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《...
