'Jodi Picoult is not one to shy away from fictional controversy; in fact, the more tangled and messy a moral dilemma appears, the better she likes it.
Picoult has been incredibly successful in dissecting the pain that family members go through when faced with sensitive and emotive issues
Picoult, once again, grabs a razor-sharp issue and uses her brilliantly intricate pen to expose all the shades of grey with PERFECTION.
Picoult fans will not be disappointed . . . a pleasure to pick up, and impossible to put down
If you're after a book that will have you utterly enthralled and stay with you long after you've finished it, look no further
Picoult's novel . . . reminds us how easy it is to jump to conclusions and to do all the wrong things for all the right reasons
Engrossing . . . Picoult has a remarkable ability to make us share her characters' feelings of confusion and horror
