Summary

Number one best-selling author Jodi Picoult returns with her compulsive new novel - about the lengths we go to for those who have left us behind; about the staying power of love; and about how three broken souls might have just the right pieces to mend each other.

Jenna Metcalf was with her mother the night she disappeared in tragic and mysterious circumstances, but she remembers nothing.

Over 10 years have passed, and still Jenna reads and rereads her mother's journals, hoping to find some clue hidden there, in the meticulous recording of her scientific research with elephants. Desperate for answers, Jenna uses all her savings to recruit the aid of a private detective - and a psychic.

Jenna knows her mother loved her. She knows she would not leave her. And she will not rest until she finds out what happened that night.

In her most gripping mystery since House Rules, Jodi Picoult brings us a powerful story of a young girl's determination to uncover the truth, however shocking and life-changing it might be.

Excellent despite a slow start

Amazing book/audio. Slow to get started but then, wow! Worth sticking with for sure. Breathless ending. Can't wait for this to be a film.

Keep going until the end..

After a somewhat slow start, the book finishes with a great twist. Thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and learning about the elephant facts.

More than a fictional story

The research Jodi has done into elephants gives the reader more than a good fictional read, it educates the reader on the behaviour and plight of the elephant. What a beautiful creature and yet so badly abused by so many. Mankind has a lot to answer for. Enjoyed with interest the paranormal explanations of the stories characters and that love can find away for humans and elephants.

Least enjoyable of her books

Over dramatic and over sentimental. Too much about elephants. Irritating voice used for the heroine. Disappointing but still a good story

Gripping but slightly confused

This book had me gripped! I was using audible to listen to it! The confusion came from the twist to the story and I have finished feeling a little unsatisfied but if I had read it for myself I think it would have been brilliant! Great storyline!
Would recommend it.

Beautiful Book

Great story, gripping and with very good rithm.
I have learnt plenty about elephants I didn’t know.
I have enjoyed it very much, I could not stop listening and I have also start supporting the protection of elephants.
