The Book of Two Ways

There were times I wondered if I was smart enough to keep up with this book, but it was soooo worth it. I love all of Picoult's books, but this is my favorite and that is saying a lot. I was somewhat skeptical when I started it, since I'm not one who likes books that involve infidelity in marriage. This one completely won me over. And the topics covered ranged from hospice care to physics. Egyptology plays a major role in the story, again, not something I normally read about.

The main character's occupation as a death doula really gave me a lot to consider. Having recently experienced death in my own family, it helped to read this book. It's definitely a topic most people avoid and really shouldn't.

Start to finish, this may be the best book I've read this year, or at least tied with Alice Hoffman's MAGIC LESSONS. I highly recommend it.
