Plain Truth
by Jodi Picoult
This one made me mad at the father, rather than the mother. However, I realize that I know nothing about Amish culture, so he could very well have been within the bounds of Amish expectations. Still made me mad. But I finished this one, which is more than I can say for some other Picoult books that made me mad.
Again, Picoult takes a subject I don't know and uses the book as a tiny education. I'm not saying I'm an expert now. But I do have a minor appreciation for the Amish ways now. Sort of. I'm too "English" to really get it. But I sort of do.
I really liked the play between the family members, the lawyer, the brother. I don't know that I've seen it done that well in other Picoult books. She had more interaction between more characters in this than in many of her books that I've read. Ok, with the court and all, there were flat more characters. But she doesn't overwhelm you with them.
One thing I wonder - if I read this again, would I have seen the ending coming? Were there clues I missed, or is it truly out of the blue? Back to the library to find out, I suppose!
