What happens when you learn you are not who you thought you were' When the people you've loved and trusted suddenly change before your eyes' When getting your deepest wish means giving up what you've always taken for granted' Vanishing Acts explores how life -- as we know it -- might not turn out the way we imagined; how doing the right thing could mean doing the wrong thing; how the memory we thought had vanished could return as a threat.

  • "Delia Hopkins was six years old when her father allowed her to be his assistant in the amateur magic act he performed at the local senior center's annual Christmas pageant. "I learned a lot that night," recalls Delia, who is now 32, at the start of Picoult's absorbing new novel (her 12th, after My Sister's Keeper). "That people don't vanish into thin air...." She has come to know this even better as an adult: she makes her living finding missing people with her own search-and-rescue bloodhound. As she prepares for her wedding, however, Delia has a flash of memory that is so vivid yet so wildly out-of-place among the other memories from her idyllic New Hampshire upbringing that she describes it to a childhood friend, who happens to be a reporter. Soon, her whole world and the world of the widowed father she adores is turned upside down. Her marriage to her toddler's father, a loving but still struggling recovering alcoholic, is put on hold as she is forced to conduct a search-and-rescue mission on her own past and identity. It will cut to the heart of what she holds to be true and good. As in previous novels, Picoult creates compelling, three-dimensional characters who tell a story in alternating voices about what it might mean to be a good parent and a good person, to be true to ourselves and those we love. Picoult weaves together plot and characterization in a landscape that is fleshed out in rich, journalistic detail, so that readers will come away with intriguing questions rather than pat answers."

  • "Eine kleine, harmlose Erinnerung lässt Delia Hopkins keine Ruhe: Es ist ein Zitronenbäumchen, das sie nicht mehr aus ihrem Kopf bekommt. Delia steht kurz vor ihrer Hochzeit mit Eric, liebt das Leben mit ihrer kleinen Tochter Sophie und kann trotz des frühen Todes ihrer Mutter auf eine unbeschwerte Kindheit zurückblicken. Seit sie jedoch die vergilbten Hochzeitsbilder ihrer Eltern gesehen hat, spuken Erinnerungen durch ihr Hirn, mit denen sie nichts anzufangen weiss. Bevor sie mit ihrem Vater Andrew, dem angesehenen Leiter eines Altenheims, darüber sprechenkann, steht die Polizei vor der Tür und offenbart ein schreckliches Geheimnis über ihn. Delias Welt zerfällt vor ihren Augen, denn offenbar ist sie nicht die, für die sie sich 32 Jahre lang gehalten hat."
