Summary
Jodi Picoult’s powerful novel portrays an emotionally charged marriage that changes course in one explosive moment.

Sometimes finding your own voice is a matter of listening to the heart …

For years, Jane Jones has lived in the shadow of her husband, renowned San Diego oceanographer Oliver Jones. But during an escalating argument, Jane turns on him with an alarming volatility. In anger and fear, Jane leaves with their teenage daughter, Rebecca, for a cross-country odyssey charted by letters
from her brother Joley, guiding them to his Massachusetts apple farm, where surprising self-discoveries await. Now Oliver, an expert at tracking humpback whales across vast oceans, will search for his wife across a continent—and find a new way to see the world, his family, and himself: through her eyes.

'Rich and charming. … Jodi Picoult casts a spell with her beautiful imagery and language. Reading this book is a delight.'—Ann Hood, author of Do Not Go Gentle

Very confusing with all the different voices narrating . Also, the story jumps around and was hard to follow

As an avid reader and lover of Jodi Picoult books, this one lacked luster and I lost interest. It jumps around too much and the narration is actually annoying. I couldn’t continue to listen to the story even if I wanted to. The narration is like nails on a chalk board.

The story was ok. I think it could’ve been shorten with the same effect. I wasn’t bothered by multiple speakers. I recommend it!
