Oh my gosh, I am so thankful I got an early chance to read The Book of Two Ways - Jodi Picoult is a favorite author of mine, and her latest did not disappoint, even when I'm in the midst of an awful reading slump. I was immediately engaged with the characters and the diverging paths of this story. The Egyptology is so well done and well incorporated, and adds so much to the story that just wouldn't have worked for another book or another author. This novel is rich, engaging, and emotional in all the ways I needed right now.
