To what lengths should a woman go to have a child? What kind of a toll does that take on the husband? What happens when a child is lost? What happens when life changes so dramatically for a couple?
That is what Sing You Home is all about. A woman that is obsessed with having a child and a husband who just cant bear to go through the procedures again after a child dies before birth is the central theme of the book. After a devastating loss, he turns to religion and she changes lifestyles.
After the drastic life changes, each want to use the three frozen embryos from previous chances at IVF. A custody case ensues but who will win? As always, the case becomes ugly. Dirty laundry is exposed and lives are turned upside down, lifestyles exposed, people are used, and nothing will be the same.
As with all Jodi Picoult books that I have read, there are twists. There are turns. The outcome is always surprising. I thought that the book started off a little slow but soon I was sucked in by the characters and kept me looking for the end. One character, Lucy, was a bit confusing and I felt needed a little more development but in the end, she played a major role.
I liked the book but not my favorite of Picoults. I have read several of her books but Sing You Home was not my favorite but not the least favorite either. It was a good read and didnt take long to read. I read the e-version for my NookColor and had links to music. I did not listen to the music so I cannot vouch for it.
