![]() Who is right? Who has the power to make these decisions? Edward, who left for Thailand six years ago after an argument with his dad, wants to turn off Luke’s life support. She’s been Googling people who were declared brain dead and then spontaneously recovering. Cara, who has been living with her father for years, wants to give her father every opportunity to make it through. The issue is between two estranged siblings, Cara and Edward, fighting after an accident that has left their father, Luke, brain dead. Her latest book, Lone Wolf, doesn’t disappoint. It’s certainly a great way to look at a topical issue. Her books are written in the first person of several of the main characters, so you get an idea of each character’s feelings, emotions and thoughts. If you’ve ever flicked through one of her books, all the different fonts are not a mistake. If you’re not aware of her books, she generally takes a hot topic (organ donation from a prisoner, school shootings, teen suicide) and makes a novel exploring all the options. I would say that I’ve read most of Jodi Picoult’s books (like many, I started with the incredibly moving My Sister’s Keeper). If you liked this, try: My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult Why I read it: ARC kindly sent by Allen and Unwin – thank you! ![]() ![]() ![]() Weaknesses: Characters can be a little wooden at times. ![]() Strengths: Picoult takes a topical situation and explores the potential options. A quick rundown…What do you do when a parent is so badly injured that they won’t recover? Let them go or give them time? ![]()
