rmattson81 's review for:
The Book of Two Ways
by Jodi Picoult
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I LOVED this book. I am a huge fan of Jodi Picoult's books, and this one was no exception. The story is about Dawn, who was pulled away from her grad studies and love affair in Egypt to return home to Boston when her mother was dying. She was never able to return to Egypt and became a Death Doula, married, and had a daughter. She's haunted by the life she thought she would have but left behind.
Have you ever wondered about who you would have become if you had made different choices? I think most everyone has, and that's part of the allure of this book. We watch Dawn explore what she left behind. She gets to make another choice.
This book is heavy in a lot of ways. There's a lot of information on Egyptology, some quantum physics, and a lot about the process of dying. But it's also emotionally heavy as Dawn grapples with her family in Boston, the career and love she left behind in Egypt, the person she wanted to be vs. the person she is.
