Harvesting the Heart

Jodi Picoult's Captivating Second Novel From the New York Times bestselling author of My Sister's Keeper, Lone Wolf, and the forthcoming The Storyteller, Harvesting the Heart is written with astonishing clarity and evocative detail, convincing in its depiction of emotional pain, love, and vulnerability, and recalls the writing of Alice Hoffman and Kristin Hannah. Paige has only a few vivid memories of her mother, who left when she was five. Now, having left her father behind in Chicago for dreams of art school and marriage to an ambitious young doctor, she finds herself with a child of her own. But her mother's absence, and shameful memories of her past, make her doubt both her maternal ability and her sense of self worth. Out of Paige's struggle to find wholeness, Jodi Picoult crafts an absorbing novel peopled by richly drawn characters and explores issues and emotions readers can relate to. "A brilliant, moving examination of motherhood, brimming with detail and emotion." 'Richmond Times-Dispatch "Jodi Picoult explores the fragile ground of ambivalent motherhood in her lush second novel. This story belongs to the lucky reader." 'The New York Times Book Review.

Die junge Frau fühlt sich endlich angenommen und die Beziehung zu Nicholas gibt Page die nötige Geborgenheit. Ihre Mutter hatte sie im Alter von fünf Jahren verlassen, was eine tiefe Verletzung hinterließ. Die Geburt ihres Sohnes weckt in Page jedoch die alten Ängste: Kann sie überhaupt eine gute Mutter sein? Sie fühlt sich gezwungen, ihre eigenen Wünsche komplett zurückzustellen. Emotional und physisch völlig erschöpft und unfähig, sich ihrem Mann mitzuteilen, verlässt sie schließlich."

  • "In her second novel, the author of Songs of the Humpback Whale ( LJ 5/15/92) recounts with power and grace a young woman's efforts to achieve "grandeur... andthe ability to be comfortable in the world." Paige O'Toole Prescott, a gifted portraitist, sets aside her art to support her husband, Nicholas, during his medical training. His wealthy parents reject Paige, who already suffers from self-doubt after being abandoned by her mother. Despite Nicholas's success as a surgeon and the young couple's love for each other, the birth of their son catapults them into emotional crisis. Paige's resulting quest for courage and self-confidence forces Nicholas, her parents, and her in-laws to reevaluate their attitudes, standards, and behavior. Picoult considers various forces that can unite or fracture families and examines the complexities of the human heart both literally and figuratively."
