Read if you like: The Memory Keeper’s Daughter

by Kim Edwards

The Memory Keeper’s Daughter begins with a split-second decision that shapes two parallel lives, and the secret that reverberates through generations. I loved it for how it explores family, regret, and the way silence can calcify into shame. It made me think about how love and protection can be confused—and the damage that can do. The Spoon and the Sea also explores long-held secrets and fractured family ties, especially between a mother and son separated by time, distance, and history. If you were moved by the emotional reckoning in The Memory Keeper’s Daughter, I think my novel will resonate.
