Kći čuvara uspomena

Kim Edwards

Kim Edwards u ovom će nagrađivanom i hvaljenom romanu o obiteljskim tajnama i dvjema obiteljima ujedinjenima laži jednog muškarca, istražiti sve strane tuge i ljubavi, ali i snage koju donosi istina.

Godina je 1964. Iznenadna oluja zamela je snijegom grad Lexington u američkoj saveznoj državi Kentucky. Ceste su neprohodne i ortoped David Henry sa svojom je ženom Norom, koju su uhvatili trudovi, prisiljen ostati u svojoj klinici. Tamo će je, uz pomoć medicinske sestre Caroline, poroditi. Norah će roditi sina Paula, a nekoliko minuta kasnije i kćer Phoebe, na kojoj David odmah prepoznaje znakove Downova sindroma.

Suočen s bolnim sjećanjima na svoju majku koja se nikada nije oporavila od smrti teško bolesne kćeri, David donosi odluku kojom će, vjeruje, Noru poštedjeti boli.
