Summary
From the best-selling author of My Sister's Keeper comes the riveting story of a murder that shatters the picturesque calm of Amish country - and tests the heart and soul of the lawyer defending the woman at the center of the storm.
The discovery of a dead infant in an Amish barn shakes Lancaster County to its core. But the police investigation leads to a more shocking disclosure: Circumstantial evidence suggests that 18-year-old Katie Fisher, an unmarried Amish woman believed to be the newborn's mother, took the child's life. When Ellie Hathaway, a disillusioned big-city attorney, comes to Paradise, Pennsylvania, to defend Katie, two cultures collide - and for the first time in her high-profile career, Ellie faces a system of justice very different from her own. Delving deep inside the world of those who live "plain", Ellie must find a way to reach Katie on her terms. And as she unravels a tangled murder case, Ellie also looks deep within - to confront her own fears and desires when a man from her past reenters her life.

Love Jodi Picoult books
Great plot and characterisation. Great performance from the narrators. Great context for a novel. Looking forward to the next one.

Very interesting but went on a bit
It's an interesting look at what it means to be Amish and I found myself researching the subject further after finishing this. The main thread of the story was engaging enough to keep me listening but was quite a slow burn. This is my first Jodi Picoult listen so I'm not sure if this is her usual pace but I like a bit more action and a few more twists and turns.

Another brilliant story from Jodie Picoult
I go for Jodie Picoult books because I know I’m in good hands. This one didn’t let me down, and in the end I wanted to stay on the Amish farm, rather than have the book end. A lovely read

Terrific story
I really enjoyed this book, definitely a ‘couldn’t put it down’ story.
A fascinating incite into the Amish way of life and the way of thinking for the accused character, Katie.
Thoroughly recommended!

quilting
Jodi's books are like a quilt. there is a common thread that weaves each one of the very unique books together.
That thread is her creativity and way of crafting each character.

Picoult doing what she does best
I really got into this book, as with most Jodi picoult novels I found it followed the typical legal and moral dilemma path, raising ethical issues and evoking conflicting & fluctuating feelings.
Although the pattern is familiar the story is unique and explores a community and lifestyle that is interesting to learn about/gain an insight into. Similarly, the obvious research the author has done in order to describe in so much detail and with such accuracy the legal arguments also enables me to be educated without feeling like I was in a classroom or being lectured to.
I think picoult's best craft is weaving such strong and meaty subjects and research inbetween layers of heart, human emotion and relationships. I think I am trying to say she opens up unfamiliar and perhaps unappealing topics and /or science by making it accessible through gripping drama.
