Book Reviews of the The Memory Keeper's Daughter
Customer Review: A good, but not great, read
Summary: 3 Stars
I was drawn in by the reviews on the back cover of this book - the novel was praised by several writers who I admire a great deal: Sue Monk Kid, Ursula Hegi, and Sena Jeter Naslund. I thought that the plot sounded intriguing, and as I read the first 20 pages in the bookstore, the lovely quality of Edwards' writing led me to make an impulse purchase! I continued to be hooked through the next one hundred pages of the book, which only covered the first year of the twins' and their parents' lives. I felt that I was really getting to know the characters. However, when the time period then jumped very quickly from age 6, to age 13, and then to age 18 , my interest wavered. I didn't feel that I knew them at all anymore, so I was no longer as invested in knowing the final outcome . What was initially a very promising novel, turned out (for me) to be just average.
