Jodi Picoult is one of my favourite authors. The main reason I like her books is most of the time it is well researched and well written. If you have read a few novels by her, you will know that she has a pattern for most of her books. A medical condition, inner conflicts and a courtroom scene. But this book is not following that pattern and it has my favourite animal, Elephants!
.
The book is about a mother and a daughter. Mother is a scientist who studies grief from the elephants and daughter is separated from her mother at a very young age. So she seeks the help of a psychic, and an ex-cop to find her mother.
.
The story had a multitude of characters which is confusing at times. It moves to and fro between the characters and for few 100 pages, it is difficult to understand. But once you get the story, the pages fly.
.
If you don't like elephants, then this book might be boring for you. Because half the book is dedicated to the elephants. The mother learns most of the things in her life by studying elephants and taking care of them. And since the story is not extraordinary, elephants are the highlight for me personally.

This book will be liked only by Picoult fans and elephant fans.
