Change of Heart: A Novel
Jodi Picoult
Atria, 2008
excellent book
+ Overall solid Picoult
This is one of the best books I have read. It reminds me of The Green Mile. She tells this story from different viewpoints. She includes ideas from a rabbi, a priest and the gnostic scriptures. Her characters are well developed and believable. I loved this book and did not want it to end.
