Jodi Picoult sticks to her tried and true formula with this story about a woman who learns many years after the fact that she was kidnapped as a child. Thorny ethical and legal issues as well as exhaustive research and the use of multiple storytellers are the hallmarks of this author's style. It works for this novel well enough, but I did find myself skimming some of the overly described scenes. It kept me up late, wanting to get to the end.
