This is the first Jodi Picoult book that I have read. I am really not interested in the Amish culture, but it is a book club selection. I found the story and the characters quite interesting. I actually had a hard time putting it down. The story flowed and kept me tied to it. However, the basis of the story seemed to me to be contrived. The fact that an 'English' attorney would be allowed to go and live in an Amish household and become a part of the family was hard to get my mind around. I cannot believe that this could have actually happened even though this attorney was a distant relative. This was the main reason I couldn't give it four stars. Maybe, I should have given it five stars for convincing me that it could have actually happened. I certainly got hooked on the story.
