AOT #36: Jodi Picoult Podcasts The Tenth Circle

Filed under Book Store Events
Jodi Picoult reads from and discusses her new novel, The Tenth Circle.
Picoult, the New York Times bestselling author of Vanishing Acts, offers in her new book a powerful chronicle of an American family. The Tenth Circle looks at the delicate moment when a child learns that her parents don’t know all of the answers, and when being a good parent means letting go of your child. It asks whether you can reinvent yourself in the course of a lifetime or if your mistakes are carried forever – if life is, as in any good comic book, a struggle to control good and evil, or if good and evil control you.
($26) Atria ISBN # 0-7434-9670-1. Please visit Jodi Picoult’s official web site as well.
