Jodi Picoult

Today I want wrote about Jodi Picoult, an american author. She has written 19 novels so far, which has been traduced to 30 languages. She is known in all world. She admit that apart of being a novelist, her main role is being a mother of three children. That's why her stories are based on real life and real problems. What caracterize her books is a back- and- forthe flashback format, which firstly is a little bit confused but with every pager a reader get used to it. I'd like to describe two of her books which I've read and which really moved me.

Keeping Faith (1999)- Mariah catches her husband, Colin, with another woman. After this incident they decide to divorce and Mariah get a full custodu of their seven- year- old daughter, Faith. Woman fall into depression and in the same time Faith develops an imaginary friend called ''Guard''. She is taken to a therapist who finds that a girl may be seeing God. Miracles start to happen and a world is focused on Faith's gift. Later Mariah fall in love  with Ian, a 'tekleatheist' who's travelling around the country searching miracles. If you want to know what happen after that, I recommend you to read the book :)


My sister's keeper (2004)- the story takes place in Rhode Island. Anna's older sister, Kate, suffers from a blood and bone marrow cancer. Anna since the day of her birth is a donor for Kate. At first all is successful, but one day Anna decides to stop it. She wants to have a control over her body and be able to make her own decisions. She goes to a lawyer, Campell Alexander, to ask him for help. From this time Anna's parents start to quarell, many problems appear. The end of the story is tragic, but what I can say is that Kate survives.
A story was adapted into a film in 2009, starred with Cameron Diaz. I haven't seen it yet but I hope a movie is so emotional as a book.
