Review
'Jodi Picoult's novels often focus on lives turned upside down by some terrible event, and it's her way with the small emotional detail that makes them so rewarding' -- Marie Claire 'Picoult fans will not be disappointed. There is the usual compulsive writing, the insight into family and colourful characterisation ... a pleasure to pick up, and impossible to put down' -- Daily Express 'Another fascinating and engrossing read by Picoult' -- Closer 'This is another cracker from Picoult' -- Family Circle 'From beginning to end the story is full of surprises and gives both reader and reading group a great deal to think about.' -- New Books Magazine 20080701

This is not Jodi's best or worse. Worth reading if you have already read her others, if not choose one of her other books instead
