I’m impressed with The Memory Keeper’s Daugh­ter.

I thought it was going to be a dry, boring read, much like Every­thing Must Go. I was mis­taken (mostly) and by the end I found myself devour­ing the last pages. Despite its small dimen­sions, the novel sports 401 pages, 300 of which were a fan­tas­tic, engross­ing read. Kim Edwards does a won­der­ful job of get­ting the emo­tion across as well as man­ag­ing to make very real characters.
