Author: Jodi Picoult

Synopsis

In all thirteen years of Anna’s life, her parents have never given her a choice: she was born to be her sister Kate’s bone marrow donor and she has always given Kate everything she needs But when Anna is told Kate needs a new kidney, she begins to question how much she should be prepared to do to save the older sibling she has always been defined by. So Anna makes a decision that will change their family forever – perhaps even fatally for the sister she loves.

Our Review

We (mostly!) enjoyed this book which centres on a family’s controversial decision to have a child in order to save their other daughter’s life. We liked the way it was told from several viewpoints and found it examined what it takes to be a good parent or a good sibling. Thought provoking.
