I thought this book would be a tough act to follow. I always find 'the next book' disappointing after I have fallen in love with a novel, even if it has won prizes (often if it has won prizes, actually). Still, there are a few books that can sit on the shelf beside ''The Memory Keeper's Daughter'' and manage to hold their heads up high in its company: [[The Household Guide to Dying by Debra Adelaide]] is such a book, as is [[The Life You Longed For by Maribeth Fischer]] and [[Playing With The Moon by Eliza Graham]] all of which deal with the subject of loss, in vastly differing ways. Similarly, although there are mixed reviews about [[The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger]], I found it simply captivating. If none of these titles appeal and you are looking for something along the same lines but without the lump in your throat, perhaps [[Uphill All the Way by Sue Moorcroft]] would be a lighter, but still satisfying, read.
 
We also have a review of [[The Lake of Dreams by Kim Edwards]].
