Book Review - Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult
I'm in love with author, Jodi Picoult. Well, maybe not her, per se but her work, definitely. I haven't read a book of hers yet that I didn't enjoy from the first page to the last. This was no exception. She leads us down a path and then changes direction so quickly that I can't stop turning the pages.
Although not what I would consider a cozy this does have elements of a mystery and there is a murder (or two). There is suspense, red herrings, symbolism and a surprise ending.
As told by two characters, Jenna and Alice, it is the story of an elephant sanctuary which also doubles as a research facility and the family who struggles, with the expense of caring for the great animals as well as in their relationships with each other.
Jenna's side of the story tells of her search for her mother and the mental collapse of her father. Alice's side of the story focuses on the time before she disappeared.
The story is more than a mystery. It's a captivating read which will stretch your imagination and fill your mind with images of the majestic elephant.
Happy trails,
Leslie
