I'm old now, just turned into my 76th year on earth and for the life of me I cannot find this one book that I think is a novel that I wanted to read, but it slipped away in memory as to it's title or even it's plot.
This is a description of the cover as I recall it and I’m hoping someone might remember the cover and thereby know the title. The cover was striking:
Cover background was dark, maybe black.
The central image was a realistic whitish semi-see-through delicate garment, maybe a woman’s blouse, or a girl child’s article of clothing or?
I’m going to guess that I first saw the book perhaps 15 years ago+/-, or a bit less than that. It seems it was prominent amongst readers of novels at the time. But I have googled the cover details and come up with nothing.
It is a very striking cover. I will know it when I see it.
I’d bet on Kim Edwards’s The Memory Keeper’s Daughter (2005).
that is absolutely it, thank you so much Marisa, you are an angel!!! Be well and stay well. You are such a kind soul, Dios te bendiga!
My pleasure! I hang around here because I love books, trivia, and scavenger hunts. In this case, very clear clues made this one straightforward to think of a match for. Distinctive cover thoroughly described, accurate date estimation, and especially the fact that the novel was very popular at the time. (It was at the top of my recommendations on LibraryThing for about a year, which was quite something.) Thanks for the lovely words, and all the best to you as well!
