Recensione
This powerful and affecting novel demonstrates that there are as many truths to a story as there are people to tell it (Publishers Weekly)
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)
The striking thing is Picoult's confidence. She takes a controversial topic and gallops with it, leaving the reader breathless and, crucially, better informed and full of questions. (The Times)
Picoult trades on gripping, emotive plots hinged upon gnarly ethical dilemmas . . . Picoult's pitch and pace are masterly and hardly conducive to a good night's sleep. (Financial Times)
Descrizione del libro
If you were harmed as a child and you were afraid your daughter was being harmed - what would you do? Jodi Picoult's first novel is a compelling drama of family, loss and misunderstanding, and reconciliation.
