Sing You Home: A Novel by Jodi Picoult


Picoult has a way of tackling controversial issues and bringing them to life. Her newest book, Sing You Home is no exception to this.

This book in particular deals with Gay rights and IVF. Picoult manages to explain a complicated issue with ease. Her characters are well developed and memorable.

Picoult managed to address both issues involving peoples feeling and beliefs in relation to Gay Rights and religion with taste and candor.

Expect the same type of formal she has used in previous books. This novel also has a predictable ending ---

Grade: A


Synopsis [B&N]
Every life has a soundtrack. All you have to do is listen.
Music has set the tone for most of Zoe Baxter’s life. There’s the melody that reminds her of the summer she spent rubbing baby oil on her stomach in pursuit of the perfect tan. A dance beat that makes her think of using a fake ID to slip into a nightclub. A dirge that marked the years she spent trying to get pregnant.
For better or for worse, music is the language of memory. It is also the language of love.
In the aftermath of a series of personal tragedies, Zoe throws herself into her career as a music therapist. When an unexpected friendship slowly blossoms into love, she makes plans for a new life, but to her shock and inevitable rage, some people—even those she loves and trusts most—don’t want that to happen.
