An ethical dilemma over terminating life support is the focus of this book, which also has fascinating insights into the lives of wolves. During the first few pages the story felt familiar, almost as though I’d read it before, and I found moving between fonts for each narrator unsettling. As I went on those feelings vanished, and I became enthralled by the comparisons between human and wolf families. An excellent read, meticulously researched. Do you also enjoy Jodi Picoult’s novels?
“There’s someone there to watch your back
in good family or in wolf pack.”
Ruth's Reflections 
Jodi Picoult nearly always has novels with ethical dilemmas and while I do not particularly like her writing, the issues she discusses are often tough ones. the best book I read about wolves was Wolf Totem a book about the wolves in North China and their almost extinction under the Mao regime. it won the china booker prize and for a while could not be bought in NZ.

I enjoy Jodi Picoult too Ruth. She winds me in. I really don’t like the font change either. I’m really not sure why she/the publishers use it.

Carol, I agree that the dilemmas are always interesting, but her style can be aggravating. As OG says it’s difficult to know why the font changes are employed – it’s as though the publishers are trying to add something, but it’s not necessary.
