(Oh, yeah, and one of the gay women happens to be a music therapist. With the backing of the church, he sues the women to seize the embryos and give them to his brother and sister-in-law. The ex-husband is now a born-again Christian zealot who takes his life guidance from a militant anti-gay preacher. They need to use frozen zygotes that had been previously created by one of the women and her ex-husband. That blossoming love is between two women - two women who want to have a baby. The truth is revealed in the publicity material that accompanies the review copy. It mewls on about a "career woman" whose "unexpected friendship slowly blossoms into love." Huh? That doesn't sound like Jodi Picoult at all. She doesn't need to bolster a limited talent with a gimmick.Įven more puzzling is the bland book-jacket blurb, that tells nothing about the story. Picoult is an established writer, known for tackling challenging topics like autism, organ transplants and end-of-life interventions, in the context of their emotional and usually legal effect on the ordinary family. Jodi Picoult's Sing You Home - a story about a music therapist - professes to be so about music that it even comes with its own CD, to play along as you read.
