Secrets

I have just finished reading Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards. I thought it was a good read, because you wanted to know the outcome. The one thing I found at fault with the novel was the fact that it went on and on as to whether the knowledge that the baby daughter had not died at birth would be disclosed to her mother and brother. Than all of a sudden the novel winds up with them being informed.

The strong message seen in this novel is the price of secrets. Secrets not only hurt the one who is keeping the secret, but they also hurt the ones they are trying to protect.
