The Memory Keepers Daughter

I highly reccomend The Memory Keepers Daughter for anyone looking for a good read, but i do not see it fit for an AP level novel. Most books we read in school always have some deeper meaning than whats on the surfact and involve motifs, symbols, and other literary devices, and none of that is seen throughout The Memory Keepers Daughter. This book is simply just the story given to the reader, atleast, i didnt see any other significance to it. There were no elements that really repeated themselves. As much as i would love to read books like this in school, there isnt really much you could do with it. Theres no hidden message or depth to it. Just a trdgic story of a father giving up his daughter for selfish reasons and how this choice of his effects everyone.
