Fiction. Literature. HTML:From the author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers Small Great Things and My Sister's Keeper, a novel exploring the story of a young woman overcome by the demands of having a family.

Paige has only a few vivid memories of her mother, who abandoned her at five years old. Now, having left her father behind in Chicago for dreams of art school and marriage to an ambitious young doctor, she finds herself with a child of her own. But her mother's absence and shameful memories of her past force her to doubt whether she could ever be capable of bringing joy and meaning into the life of her child, gifts her own mother never gave.

Harvesting the Heart is written with astonishing clarity and evocative detail, convincing in its depiction of emotional pain, love, and vulnerability, and recalls the writing of Alice Hoffman and Kristin Hannah. Out of Paige's struggle to find wholeness, Jodi Picoult crafts an absorbing novel peopled by richly drawn characters, and explores motherhood with a power and depth only she is capable of.

Ugh. This is the fist Jodi Picoult I've ever tried to read, and it was bad. Boring, over-written (she seems to suffer from the delusion that she's talented enough to write long descriptions of things like fireworks and elephants and still keep it interesting--she's not), and full of dull cliches (a doctor who works too hard and cares too much? No way!). Also (spoiler alert) only idiots get married after knowing each other for just a few weeks. Seriously.

I may give one of her other books a chance, but I would warn you off this one. ( )

More than an hour in to this audiobook, I found that I was alternating between mean thoughts about the caricatures, um characters, and checking to see if I was any closer to being done so I could move on to a more interesting book. Maybe it gets better, but so far it's Driven Mr. Responsible discovers that Manic Pixie Dream Girl makes a lousy wife and mother. It's not terrible, just dull. Abandoned at 12%.

Audiobook version, borrowed from my public library via Overdrive. Cassandra Campbell provides a competent but uninspired reading. ( )

Nothing really great or awful. ( )

"Harvesting the Heart" by Jodi Picoult is the first book that I have read by this author. I found the plot to be boring and quite predictable. It dragged on so, that I found myself skimming pages just to get through this novel. Based on other reviews, some reviewers agree with me and some do not. Due to Ms. Picoult's popularity as a writer, I am willing to give another of her novels a try. ( )

this was my least favorite Jodi Picoult novel. I didn't like any of the characters and Picoult gave them abilities that were just unnatural. Paige can draw people's inner feelings onto paper. She run off to find her mother who ran away when Paige was five. Their reunion is unrealistic. No anger ? no recrimination? No answers expected from "Why did you leave me? Her mother is a thoughtless, very selfish character who says after 25 years "Maybe I'll go see your father someday.". I also found it unbelievable that Nicholas's parents who cut him off when he said he was going to marry Paige, suddenly take her in after she runs away from her husband and young son. That's hardly credable. And she winds up living with them when Nicholas won't take her back. SO , Picoult provides a medical emergency for the baby Max, and this is what will save his parents marriage..... yea, I don't think so. "Harvesting the Heart "was too implausable and careless for me to enjoy. ( )
