The cover of the book is different than on the picture

Going to the next reader, for the International Womens' Day Book Exchange.
I hope she enjoys this book.

Received in the International Women's Day exchange - thank you, saskiaosmile!

I have heard a lot about this author; she seems to divide opinions. I came away from this book without much of one - I didn't hate this, but it wasn't exactly gripping. The basic concept - a big-city attorney defending an Amish girl accused of infanticide - could have been very interesting, but Picoult never seemed to develop any of the themes as much as they deserved. There was some sloppy writing in there - plot elements introduced a little too early and then presented as a big surprise - and I never quite saw the point in switching between first and third person narratives.

Sending ot the winner of the June International Sweepstake. Enjoy!

Sorry I'm late making this JE, the book arrived sometime in the last 3-4 weeks while I was away on holidays. a nice surprise to come home to.Thank you for the books, card and a cute little plastic ice cream.
