My sister's keeper

Is it right to do whatever it takes to save one child's life... even if it means disrespecting the rights of another?

Acclaimed for her keen insight into the hearts and minds of ordinary people, in My Sister's Keeper Picoult tells the compelling story of a family devastated by the conflicting needs of its members, but permeated by an immense love that gives them the strength to carry on.

My Sister's Guardian tells the story of Anna, who isn't sick, but seems to be. At thirteen, she's already undergone countless surgeries, blood transfusions, and hospitalizations so her older sister, Kate, can fight the aggressive leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. Conceived through in vitro fertilization to be a perfectly compatible bone marrow donor, Anna has never questioned her role... until now.

Like most teenagers, she's beginning to search for her true identity. But unlike most teenagers, she's always been defined by her sister. Until the day Anna makes a decision that would be inconceivable to most people, one that will tear her family apart and have fatal consequences for the sister she loves so much.

This book questions what it means to be a good father or mother, a good sister, a good person. Can a mother love too much? Is it worth trying to discover who you really are if it makes you feel like the worst person? Should you follow your heart or let others tell you what to do?

My Sister's Keeper is a provocative book that portrays the difficult choices of a family torn apart by illness – but, above all, it is the story of people who fight with all their might for those they love.

“ My Sister's Keeper is by far Jodi Picoult's greatest achievement and a step forward in her literary work.”

“Picoult writes with refinement, with a keen eye for detail and an intense understanding of the subtleties and complexities of human relationships.”
