A sweeping novel - full of heart, rich characters & beautiful storytelling!

The 'what if' storyline is powerful & thought-provoking, it examines the questions surrounding death and what that means for our life.

Dawn's job as a death doula is really interesting! - I didn't know such a thing existed.

The imagery of Egypt was spectacular, really all-encompassing. The research Picoult must have carried out to convey that level of knowledge is phenomenal but sadly for me, it read like a textbook on Ancient Egypt at times.

That being said like all of Picoult's books it made me feel, it certainly made me think & it stayed in my mind long after I'd turn the last page. Not a quick read but definitely a rewarding one.

A huge thanks to Tandem Collective UK & Hodder & Stroughton for gifting me a copy in return for an open & honest review.
