A beautiful, heartbreaking, controversial, and honest book.” —Booklist (starred review) “It’s difficult to find a book combining a timely moral dilemma with well-drawn characters for whom one cares.

It is impossible not to be held spellbound by the way she forces us to think, hard, about right and wrong.” —The Washington Post “Picoult ingeniously ties the ghost story to a true one about eugenics. . . . The history lesson makes for chilling, even shocking, reading.” —People (Critic’s Choice) “[An] elaborate, engrossing plot. . . . Suspense and the supernatural are artfully interwoven. . . .

Picoult casts a spell with her beautiful imagery and language. Reading this book is a delight.” —Ann Hood, author of Do Not Go Gentle “As Picoult uses five voices to tell a complex tale of love, friendship, and a Faulknerian family history, her mastery of language strongly individuates her characters. . . . This powerful and affecting novel demonstrates that there are as many truths to a story as there are people to tell it.” —Publishers Weekly MERCY A GLAMOUR MAGAZINE BOOK OF THE YEAR “Picoult writes with a fine touch, a sharp eye for detail, and a firm grasp of the delicacy and complexity of human relationships.” —The Boston Globe “An inspired meditation on love. . . .

[She] will make you guess until the end.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette “Jodi Picoult’s books explore all the shades of gray in a world too often judged in black and white. She does it again in The Tenth Circle with a strong mix of metaphor and storytelling.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch “Thought-provoking and topical . . . the book twists the reader’s heart. . . . [Picoult] leads readers to consider thorny issues around motives and consequences.” —Denver Post “Picoult’s great strength, which has revealed itself in previous novels, is here on almost every page. . . . She portrays teenagers with a deft and intuitive touch.” —The Wichita Eagle “Some of Picoult’s best storytelling distinguishes her twisting, metaphor-rich 13th novel. . . . This story of a flawed family on the brink of destruction grips from start to finish.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Picoult had this reader up until the very end of this fast-paced tale.” —Library Journal “When it comes to the freeze-frame of a family caught in the headlights of loss and irreversible regret, Picoult has no equal.” —Jacquelyn Mitchard Praise for NINETEEN MINUTES “Picoult is a rare writer who delivers, book after book, a winning combination of the literary and the commercial. . . . No reader can possibly foresee the book’s stunning denouement. This is vintage Picoult, expertly crafted, thought- provoking, and compelling.” —Entertainment Weekly, Grade: A “A vividly disturbing narrative about what can happen when we least expect it and how little time it takes for life to be turned upside down.” —Boston Globe “The best thing about a Jodi Picoult novel is that she makes 450 pages fly by like 150. . . .

Picoult is a pro at lively storytelling.” —The Boston Globe “The worlds Picoult creates for her characters resonate with authenticity, and the people who inhabit them are so engaging.” —People Praise for MY SISTER’S KEEPER “Picoult is known for writing fictional page-turners that address controversial issues, and her latest novel is no exception. . . . My Sister’s Keeper is a thrill to read.” —The Washington Post “A powerfully poignant, page-turning read.” —San Antonio Express-News “A fascinating character study framed by a complex, gripping story. . . Picoult’s novel grabs the reader from the first page and never lets go. This is a beautiful, heartbreaking, controversial, and honest book.” —Booklist (starred review) Praise for #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult’s startling and poignant novel Nineteen Minutes “Adept character development and intelligent plot twists. . . . Nineteen Minutes is both a page-turner and a thoughtful exploration of popularity, power, and the social ruts that can define us in ways we may not wish to be defined.” —Rocky Mountain News (Denver) “Picoult is a rare writer who delivers, book after book, a winning combination of the literary and the commercial. . . . No reader can possibly foresee the book’s stunning denouement. This is vintage Picoult, expertly crafted, thought- provoking and compelling.” —Entertainment Weekly, Grade: A “[Nineteen Minutes is] absorbing and expertly made. On one level, it’s a thriller, complete with dismaying carnage, urgent discoveries and 11th-hour revelations, but it also asks serious moral questions about the relationship between the weak and the strong, questions that provide what school people call ‘teachable moments.’ If compassion can be taught, Picoult may be just the one to teach it.” —The Washington Post
