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

评分很細膩的描寫,是我喜歡的風格. 我不知道david是出於什麽一種考慮,以至於狠心把自己智障的女兒送到那個收養中心,或許是出於過往的陰影,或許是出於對妻子的保護.可是最後,卻只是好心辦壞事--秘密橫亙在家人中間,形成巨大的鴻溝.這個故事,再次驗證了蝴蝶效應. 其實我覺得這也算...
评分【原文發自:http://blogs.carrielis.com/index.php/158】 上個月二號我收到了在五月底於博客來訂購的這本書,其實我一直提不起勇氣看這本書,或許是因為我自己本身也是個母親的關係吧!直至最近這兩天我才斷斷續續地將這本書看完,果真,我的心,沉甸甸地。 本書探討的...
