Book Reviews of Harvesting the Heart
Book Review: 3 1/2 Stars- Good Read
Summary: 3 Stars
The main character is extremely selfish and I hate that about the story, however there are some people who are like that so it's not as if the story could never happen.
The main character is a young female who runs away from home to spare her father the embarrassment of having an abortion. Almost immediately upon reaching Boston, she quickly falls in love with a well-to-do gentleman approxiametly 7 years older than her. They very quickly get married. He waits for her for 5 years to have a baby. She works while he goes through medical schooling. While I'm sure it's difficult to do, she grumbled the whole time.
Then came the pregnancy. She didn't want it, but it made her husband extremely happy. She felt invaded the entire pregnancy and inadequate the first couple of months of motherhood.
Their marriage hits the rocks.
She runs away from home again, leaving her Doctor husband alone with their son with no word of where she's going. She's gone for two months in search of her estranged mother.
There are many angles and hidden doorways in this story- at times it is mind boggling to follow. There are many loose ends.
And, actually, this is one of the FEW Picoult books that does NOT involve a court hearing. I was at least pleased to see that.
