Jodi Picoult's powerful novel portrays an emotionally charged marriage that changes course in one explosive moment.

For years, Jane Jones has lived in the shadow of her husband, renowned San Diego oceanographer Oliver Jones. But during an escalating argument, Jane turns on him with an alarming volatility. In anger and fear, Jane leaves with their teenage daughter, Rebecca, for a cross-country odyssey charted by letters from her brother Joley, guiding them to his Massachusetts apple farm, where surprising self-discoveries await. Now Oliver, an expert at tracking humpback whales across vast oceans, will search for his wife across a continent -- and find a new way to see the world, his family, and himself: through her eyes.

  • I didn't feel that was one of her best books, I have read all of her books that I can get, and this one is probably my least favourite, although saying that, I still love all her books. Its a very moving story, but doesn't make you think the way others do.
