And then the police get involved, and Katie is accused of murder.Įllie, meanwhile, is a lawyer who is taking a break with an aunt nearby after a stressful case which she won by convincing the jury that a guilty man was innocent.
However, Katie denies having had a baby despite medical evidence that she has.
It’s clear, very quickly, that the mother is a young Amish woman called Katie, and that the baby has died. It starts with a brief, tragic and slightly confusing scene when a baby is born, and then vanishes. As with Picoult’s other novels, it became more and more difficult to put down, the further I read. I picked it up about three days ago… and although it’s not a short book, I finished it today. It was quite a surprise, however, to realise that I’ve had ‘Plain Truth’ sitting on my to-be-read shelf for over three years now. But it’s taking me a while to get around to reading them, perhaps because I’ve been concentrating on more lightweight novels. I have enjoyed most of them, and added a few more to my wishlist a few years ago.
Each one has been very well-written, with a powerful plot, difficult to put down… and quite emotionally draining. I’ve only read a few of Jodi Picoult’s novels.
