She read
Release date: Oct. 2, 2018
In this latest Jodi Picoult treasure, she tackles the issue of a woman’s right and abortion in her usual thoroughly engrossing manner.
There is a hostage crises at the only reproductive health clinic in Mississippi that performs abortions and the hostage negotiator’s sister and daughter are inside with the gunman who has already killed.
The book is well researched and Picoult does an excellent job of presenting all sides of this issue. She tells the background stories of the main characters which gives insight into how each one has arrived at his/her views and actions.
Except for the epilogue, the story is revealed in reverse time order. This was an interesting technique, and I don’t know if it would have been more effective if revealed in chronological order.
As with Picoult’s last novel, don’t forget to read the author’s notes at the back.
