Brian and Diane have a ten year plan. They plan to wait ten years before they
discuss having a baby, twelve years have passed and Diane is pregnant. Brian is thrilled and cannot wait to be a
father while Diane is struggling with being a mother. The timing isn’t great. Both Brian and Diane have been offered great
opportunities in their jobs.
When Grace is born, Diane is thrilled. She doesn’t want to let her out of her
sight. Brian is travelling for his job
and hasn’t even met his daughter yet.
As things start to happen in life, Diane realizes that things may not be
exactly as they seem.
My Review:
The Memory Child is unlike any book I had ever read. I am going to be very careful not to give
anything away in my review but it will be difficult.
Knowing that Diane was not wanting to have
children, I assumed that after the baby was born she would either fall head
over heels in love or really struggle with the care of Grace. As the story unfolds, I was aware that
things were not quite what they seemed but was unsure of exactly what was
off. The truth is told as the story
goes on and I was amazed but not surprised.
I enjoyed that the story was told from both Brian and Diane’s
point of view. There were stories from
the past and of the present. Brian went
above and beyond trying to ease Diane’s discomfort with being pregnant and the
idea of becoming a mother. He was so
attentive and understanding that I knew he was to be a great father. I did love that he shared when he was
overwhelmed and afraid also, but was careful to hide it from Diane so as not to
add to her stress.
I loved this book.
It was a page turned and pulled me in from the very first page. I know that The Memory Child will not be a
book that I forget. I highly recommend
this book.
