Interpretation Toward Books Harvesting the Heart

From the #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Leaving Time 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.

“A brilliant, moving examination of motherhood, brimming with detail and emotion.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch

“Jodi Picoult explores the fragile ground of ambivalent motherhood in her lush second novel. This story belongs to… the lucky reader.” —The New York Times Book Review

Assess Appertaining To Books Harvesting the Heart

As much as I like jodi Picoult books, this definitely wasn't one of my favorites. It probably was my least favorite of all of her books. I did love her descriptions of people, places, and events but some of it was way overdone. She seemed to ramble on and on about previous events in the characters' lives or some odd description of a place they once visited or experienced. The story is about a young woman who runs away from her home in Chicago and finds herself in Cambridge. She waits tables and

no.

First off, before starting the book, I noticed it was on a list of books not to read while pregnant and thought, interesting fact. I started reading the book and a few weeks later found out I was pregnant (surprise!). At one point, the book hit a bit too close to home which made me crabby and my husband banned me from continuing. Thankfully, I didn't share the main character's past, just caught myself sympathizing with the fear of being a new mother. After about a month off, I picked it up

3.5*First and foremost, I am not a mother and I believe being a parent is probably one of the most difficult but rewarding roles in life. That being said it just has never been for me. This is a story that demonstrates how difficult the role can be to some parents not just mothers, whereas it comes naturally to others. I did not warm up to Paige in this book and honestly I found Nicholas a bit more sympathetic but not by too much. I believe both main characters had aspects that readers will find

This book lacked what I like about Jodi Picoult books--twisting plot lines, multiple, relatable charactersI thought the plot was highly predictable. I didn't care for the main character--a young woman whose mother left her at five, had an abortion at 18, had a kid and didn't think she would be a good mother b/c she didn't have one and aborted her first baby.I didn't relate to the marital problems. I couldn't understand why the two characters ever got married in the first place-they were from

For me, taking a break from reading is a happy place on its own. You know youll come back to it. You know youll love it just as much. You know you will love it always. There will be books until the end of time. Its not the kind of happiness that makes you bounce with joy its more of a quiet truth that makes you smile.

If you are a fan of Jodi Picoult, do not read this book. Put. This. Book. Down. And. Back. Away. It's terrible. Or if not actually terrible, it certainly doesn't do justice to the other books she has written, which deal with complex and current subjects like organ transplants or transsexuality. It was copywritten in 1993, so it must be one of her earliest books, before she had figured out how to write a good book.Is it about abandonment? Art? Horses? Open heart surgery? Who knows? This book
