This was another strange read. The book begins with a decision that will affect the lives of two families forever. A woman goes into labor during a terrible snow storm in the early 1960s. Her husband, an osteopathic surgeon, is forced to perform the delivery. With only a nurse present, the father discovers that his wife was pregnant with twins and one of them is a "mongoloid"; rather, she was born with Down Syndrome. In a split-second decision, he sends the daughter with the nurse to be put in an institution and informs his wife that their second child has died. This situation has the potential to be a LOT of things, and the author takes it down a very interesting road. The story from this point on is split evenly between the two families: the doctor, his wife and child; and the unwanted child and nurse. I found myself getting a little bored toward the end of the novel, as things just seemed to be going around in circles thusly: The daughter still has Down's, the father still hasn't confessed his lie, the doctor's wife still isn't over her daughter's "death", the nurse still won't tell where she's taken the daughter and so on and so forth. The ending wasn't too bad, if a little anti-climactic. It was an interesting read, though, if only for the aspects to deal with the emotional and intellectual health of the daughter with Down's. Seeing the perspective of a mother with a special child really puts those who are afraid or neglectful of such children in stark relief.
