Harvesting the Heart by Jodi Picoult
3.0
One of Picoult's earlier works & much less involved than her other titles I've read. Lacking in the story lines, too predictable & the ending wasn't very tidy, many loose ends. However, she does a great job of speaking from the point of view of a young mother struggling to discover her own identity while losing it in her husband & son.
Liked:
"There is such a difference between living the life you are expected to live and living the life you want to live. I just realized it a little late, is all." (356)
Did not like:
The main character seeing her husband as the same thing as God & her personal savior. Complete faith in & worship of a human is only setting yourself up for hurt & disappointment. Not to mention that when you are wrapped up in this type of relationship you miss the divine things right in front of your eyes.(442)
Glad to know Picoult's skills improve in her later novels.
