Description

From the award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author whom USA TODAY calls a “master of the page-turner,” comes the spectacular story of a woman’s complex quest to form a family.

Every life has a soundtrack. All you have to do is listen.

Music has set the tone for most of Zoe Baxter’s life. There’s the melody that reminds her of the summer she spent rubbing baby oil on her stomach in pursuit of the perfect tan. A dance beat that makes her think of using a fake ID to slip into a nightclub. A dirge that marked the years she spent trying to get pregnant.

For better or for worse, music is the language of memory. It is also the language of love.

In the aftermath of a series of personal tragedies, Zoe throws herself into her career as a music therapist. When an unexpected friendship slowly blossoms into love, she makes plans for a new life, but to her shock and inevitable rage, some people—even those she loves and trusts most—don’t want that to happen.

Sing You Home is about identity, love, marriage, and parenthood. It’s about people wanting to do the right thing for the greater good, even as they work to fulfill their own personal desires and dreams. And it’s about what happens when the outside world brutally calls into question the very thing closest to our hearts: family.

Overdone

Although heartwarming, I found this book lacking in literary complexity. It was entertaining at times but interspersed with tedious passages and horrendously overdone characterization and an overdone portrayal of each character's mood. Great for young readers, I'm sure, but not as subtle as I had hoped for.

Another great book by Picoult. I love how real her stories are, and not loaded with unpronounceable words. Can't wait to read the next one.

I really loved it. The characters are developed and real. Just wish I knew what happened to Lucy.

Loved the song before each chapter. Couldn't put it down after the trial began.

While somewhat predictable, this was an interesting and well covered story of some very real issues of our time. While at times it seemed a bit of a stretch that these characters did what they did...all in all the book kept my attention and made me want to know what happened next. Even though it ended the way I thought it would, it was satisfying. The music was a nice touch.

I had no idea what this book was about but know that Picoult's books are always wonderful. She did an amazing job showing the emotional stress that comes with infertility. I was amazed to see the turns the book took and the wonderful way Picoult dealt with the subject matter. My only question is what about Lucy. I hope there is a follow up book.
