The Memory Keeper's Daughter is firstly a story about love. Love that then often can lead to heartache. So to avoid the heartache, betrayal sneaks in but it never really does avoid it - it simply delays it. One man thought he was doing the right thing by sparing his wife of the plight of eventually losing their daughter to a premature death but was he really sparing his wife or simply protecting himself? And did David Henry really bother to research all that he could about his daughters condition of being born a very special little girl for if he had done, surely he would have known that her life expectancy could be more than he first thought. But he never did. He ran scared and decided the baby would be best given up and this is where Caroline Gill steps up to the plate and decides to hit a home run. Then there is the wife whom feels an emptyness she can't explain and finds herself seeking refuge where she never thought she would. Life is complicated for these people and as the years roll on, it doesn't get any less so. An enjoyable read.
