Jodi Picoult has been one of my favorite authors for as long as I can remember. Every time I read her books I fly through them and find myself depressed when it’s coming to an end. Her unique and captivating voice as an author is unrivaled. The Book of Two Ways was captivating from the very start. By the time that I was 3/4 of the way through the book, I was trying to force myself to slow down so that I could savor every page and make it last just a little longer. If that’s not a sign of an amazing book, I don’t know what is!
The novel starts with the protagonist, Dawn Edelstien, onboard a commercial flight when the passengers are told to prepare for a crash landing. She miraculously survives the crash but is unable to forget the images that flashed through her mind. It wasn’t her husband or daughter, it was her first love, a man she hasn’t seen in over a decade.
From here the book splits into two possible futures that unravel side by side. In one scenario, she returns home to her family, in the other, she does the unthinkable and flies to Egypt to seek out the man with whom she left a piece of her heart.
