Harvesting the Heart by Jodi Picoult

3.0

This book grew on me the more I read. One of my reading challenges this year was to read three books by one of my favourite authors. The first two I read by Jodi Picoult left me wondering about my decision to list her as one of my favourite authors. And this one took me a while to get into, mainly because the viewpoints from the different narrators seemed too similar. Paige's own mother left when she was just five years old. When she runs away from home at 18 and moves to Boston she meets Nicholas within days of arriving. Something about Paige sweeps Nicholas off his feet and he asks her to marry him after four dates. They come from very different worlds but that's one of the things Nicholas loves about Paige ... until he feels those differences are too great as he's trying to make his way up the hospital social scene. When Paige falls pregnant after eight years of marriage she is terrified - she doesn't know what it is to be a mother because she can't remember hers.
