The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards Book Summary

A #1 New York Times bestseller by Kim Edwards, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter is a brilliantly crafted novel of parallel lives, familial secrets, and the redemptive power of love

Kim Edwards’s stunning novel begins on a winter night in 1964 in Lexington, Kentucky, when a blizzard forces Dr. David Henry to deliver his own twins. His son, born first, is perfectly healthy, but the doctor immediately recognizes that his daughter has Down 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, Caroline, to take the baby away to an institution and never to reveal the secret. 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 winter night long ago.

A family drama, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter explores every mother's silent fear: What would happen if you lost your child and she grew up without you? It is also an astonishing tale of love and how the mysterious ties that hold a family together help us survive the heartache that occurs when long-buried secrets are finally uncovered.

The Memory Keeper's Daughter. AMAZING!!!!!!! I couldn't take my eyes off it!!!!!!!!!!! 5 stars. 

Don't waste your time. Garbage.

Not worth it. Drawn on and boring, not worth wasting your time.

The Memory Keeper's Daughter. Started off pretty good but after several chapters, it was predictable and boring. I was skipping pages the last half of the book.

Unexpected. A riveting and unexpected story that intertwines the realities of choices made that cannot be unmade. Consequences of one man’s choice that affected the lives of many, lived out over a quarter century.

Loved it!. I absolutely loved this book. I recommend this book to anyone who asks about reading. Kim Edwards did a wonderful job. My favorite book of all time.

The memory keepers daughter. A wonderful read. Couldn’t put it down. The ending was very satisfying.

The Memory Keepers Daughter. Beautifully written,heart wrenching story. Uncovers the heartache that secretes hold for not only the keeper of them, but those all around them.

Intriguing. The way the author goes in to the most intricate detail in describing even the most mundane is absolutely breathtaking. I am in love with this book. I read it over and over again.

Delivered or in phone?. Is it delivered to me or put on my phone????

Great book. Very moving. Hard to put down, well written.

The Memory Keeper's Daughter. This was the first book I've sat down & finished in many years. I have been reading all summer, & have yet to find a book that leaves a lasting impression similar to this one. The reader watches a marriage fall apart because of the doctor's decision, but sees the life & marriage of the other family fulfilled from this very decision. The characters & story line are well written & artistically portrayed that will stay with you throughout all other books; this is highly recommended!

Time will tell. This was an emotional story about life and the rippling affect choices make on the lives of others. Although I did not agree with the choice of the father, I can understand it. I have 3 children, two of which have developmental delays. The days are wonderful and hard at the same time. When my daughter is old enough to have children I wonder if she will have parallelizing fear of having her own children or if she will be able to accept fate knowing there is a strong possibility her child could have the same challenges. Time will tell.

First book I’ve read from this author. ..amazing.. Kim Edwards is brilliant with her words, spinning an amazingly intricate and heartfelt story. Hard to read the last couple of pages…eyes kept filling with tears. Beautiful. Simply beautiful. I wanted more…but realized it was just right. This will not be the last book I read from Kim Edwards! Thank you. Kat V

AMAZING. this was a great story i am a complete bookworm and this book was one of the best books ive ever read

Great read. Very detailed. This novel was a long read for a short book. The story was great! Such a surprise ending

Snoozer. Don't waste your time! I kept thinking it would get better, but it just drug on! Disappointed

Sophomoric & overwritten. Sophomoric & overwritten , plus every character & every event is detailed to death. The 1-star rating is for the one character that was interesting. The rest aren’t even likable or relatable. I honestly can’t believe the editors allowed this book to be put into print. It’s by far, one of the worst I’ve ever wasted my time on. Skip it!!

Fantastic!. This book was excellent!

The Memory's Keeper's Daughter. Read this book for a book club pick, great book, couldn't put down

The Memory Keepers Daughter by Kim Edwards. Profound. Unique. Powerful. Poignant. Magnificent. Enjoy!

The Memory Keepers Daughter. The details of Kim Edwards writing draws you right into the story as if you’re there watching the events in person. Loved it.
