The FiFi Report 147

The Memory Keeper’s Daughter (Hardcover) by Kim Edwards.
This is on the bestseller list at Amazon. “On a snowy night in 1964, Dr. David Henry realizes, with horror, that his wife has given birth to a healthy boy and a girl with Down syndrome. While his wife is unconscious he tells the nurse to take his daughter to an institution and, when his wife wakes up, tells her their baby girl was stillborn. (Outrageous). Later Caroline, shocked, decides to flee with the baby on her own. These two decisions will eventually wreck David and Norah’s marriage, put Caroline in an unexpectedly difficult but fulfilling life, and leave David’s son feeling a void throughout most of his life. This is an exquisite book, powerful, and gorgeously written.”
