The first time Jane Jones tried to leave her husband, her daughter almost got killed. This time, she's going to do it right.

Jane escaped a childhood of abuse into the refuge of marriage, only to find history repeating itself. And when her husband's neglect extends to their daughter too, she knows it must stop.

Taking Rebecca with her, Jane runs away, seeking the only place of safety she knows. But however far she runs, she cannot escape the question always on her mind: how can she save her daughter, when she couldn't save herself?

'Her vivid characters have a depth and tenacity rarely found in blockbusters'

- Independent on Sunday

'True to form, Picoult keeps you guessing to the end in this morality tale ... an edge-of-your-seat thriller'

Critical acclaim for Songs of the Humpback Whale and Jodi Picoult:

'Jodi Picoult displays near perfect pitch. Songs of the Humpback Whale is ingeniously structured and reminiscent of early Anne Tyler. Picoult has written a compelling story of family, of loss and misunderstanding, and reconciliation. Her characters are made real through their brilliant voices. Indeed, this novel sings'

Mary Morris

'Picoults attention to detail ensures a gripping read, with characters you can't help but be drawn to.'

She on Songs of the Humpback Whale

'A poignant tale of love and forgiveness'

Eve on Songs of the Humpback Whale

'Fans of her many other best selling books will love this absorbing tale of a family falling apart' Bella on Songs of the Humpback Whale

'Superb, many-stranded and grimly topical. . . Picoult binds together precarious alliances with sensitivity, giving depth to characters without losing pace. Inhabited by contradictory, flawed individuals, this intelligent novel draws suspense, moral complexity and a stunning final twist out of what initially seemed a monochrome situation'

The Times on Nineteen Minutes

'The themes are weighty: adultery, rape, violence and death. But Picoult deftly manoeuvres her way through the characters, taking pains to delve into the psyches of each one ... A well-written, mature and entertaining study of sex, lies and love on family relationships'

Scotsman on The Tenth Circle

'Elegant, spare prose with the punch of a populist thriller'

Elle on Vanishing Acts

'Picoults rich characterisation means the Fitzgeralds become more than a fictional family. The scientific debate gets personal. . . Picoult tackles a controversial subject head on with a sense of wisdom and sensitivity'

Daily Express on My Sister's Keeper
