Anything and everything I can get my hands on by JODI PICOULT. At the moment it's 'Harvesting the Heart'
Picoult's books have great storylines and characters, but perhaps the most exciting thing about them for me is that they have a depth which is really breathtaking at times.
Picoult focusses on moral and ethical dilemmas, examining issues that we are all liable to access at some point in our lives and showing us just how 'grey' the grey areas really can be.
Picoult could be accused of appearing cynical about the U.S. justice system in her books, particularly with the emphasis she places on lawyers 'spinning the truth'. I believe, however, that her aim is merely to show how every situation is open to personal interpretation. In Picoult's eyes, morality and ethics are therefore also subjectively interpreted.
Anyone else hooked on this author? Ax
