Vanishing Acts

Vanishing Acts

by JodiPicoult (Author)

Synopsis

Delia Hopkins has led a charmed life. Raised in rural NH by her widowed father Andrew, she now has a young daughter, a handsome fiance, and her own Search and Rescue bloodhound - which she uses to find missing persons. But as she plans her wedding, she is plagued by flashbacks of a life she can't recall. Vanishing Acts is a book about the very nature and power of memory. It explores what happens when the past we have been running from catches up to us, and questions who we trust to tell us the story of our lives before we are capable of remembering it ourselves.

Media Reviews
'Brilliant, thought-provoking page turner' -- Leisure Options, South Africa 'Jodi Picoult is guaranteed to become a bestseller' -- Lisa Milton, BCA 'Highly enjoyable ... Picoult has an eye for detail and is a dab hand at plot twists' -- Suzie Doore, Waterstone's 'It's a very long time indeed since I discovered a new author whose books I have enjoyed so much' -- Helen Ward, WH Smith 'Jodi Picoult is not one to shy away from fictional controversy; in fact, the more tangled and messy a moral dilemma appears, the better she likes it. Approaching each carefully chosen subject with relish, and backed up with meticulous research, she creates the kind of satisfying emotional conundrums that have her fans wondering about what they would have done in the exact same circumstances, long after they've turned the final page of her latest novel.' --
