The Memory Keeper's Daughter takes the U.S. by storm
The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards is currently the number one selling trade paperback at Barnes & Noble and is at number 11 on The New York Times paperback fiction list for the week of July 9th. The book is being adopted by neighbourhood book clubs all across the U.S and has gone back to press seven times since the Penguin paperback edition first went on sale on 30th May.
Winner of the Kentucky Literary Award for Fiction, Edwards' stunning debut novel is a gripping family drama about a secret that shapes the lives of two families over a quarter of a century. The story instantly pulls the reader in and explores how two families' lives are intertwined in mystery, loss and grief.
Fellow Viking Penguin author Sue Monk Kidd said: "The Memory Keeper's Daughter unfolds from an absolutely mesmerizing premise, drawing you deeply and irrevocably into the entangled lives of two families and the devastating secret that shapes them both. I loved this riveting story with its intricate characters and beautiful language."
