The Memory Keeper's Daughter

Oh-so early this morning, I even finished another book! This one I was glad to be done with. Very slow moving plot, and too descriptive for my taste. It was a tad bit boring, and the title didn't really quite make any sense...until the middle of the book. And then when the concept was sort of introduced, it ended there. Eh! Nothing I would recommend. This is going back to Elizza stat, hahahaha.

A short summary: Kim Edwards's stunning family drama evokes the spirit of Sue Miller and Alice Sebold, articulating every mother?s silent fear: what would happen if you lost your child and she grew up without you? In 1964, when a blizzard forces Dr. David Henry to deliver his own twins, he immediately recognizes that one of them has Down Syndrome and makes a split-second decision that will haunt all their lives forever. He asks his nurse to take the baby away to an institution and to keep her birth a secret. Instead, she disappears into another city to raise the child as her own.

On to the next book! If you look to the right of my blog, my bookshelf shows books on my nightstand....to be read with relish! :) I'm going through the entire Jodie Picoult series, I think, since I like the way she writes. I'm also on the lookout for the Twilight series; it's a teen's book, but I've heard some great reviews about it....and it's always out of stock now! Gotta go to those out-of-the way bookstores to see if they carry it.
