The Invisible Threads Between Mothers and Daughters
In the quiet of an elephant sanctuary, thirteen-year-old Jenna Metcalf has spent her life searching for answers. Her mother Alice, a brilliant elephant researcher, vanished ten years ago following a tragic accident that left one person dead and another seriously injured. All Jenna has left are fragments - her mother's research journals, newspaper clippings about the incident, and memories so faint they might be imagination. What happens when the person you've been searching for your entire life might not want to be found? Jodi Picoult's "Leaving Time" isn't just a mystery about a missing mother - it's an exploration of memory, grief, and the unbreakable bonds between mothers and their children, both human and elephant. The novel moves between four perspectives: Jenna's determined search; Alice's scientific observations of elephant behavior before her disappearance; Virgil, the alcoholic detective who originally investigated the case; and Serenity Jones, a psychic whose gifts have abandoned her after a catastrophic mistake. Together, they embark on a journey that will challenge everything they believe about love, loss, and what happens when we die.
