A Spark of Light by Jodi Picoult
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The author examines all sides of the controversial issue of abortion through the retelling of a hostage situation at an abortion clinic. Backtracking each character's backstory, Picoult dissects all sides of the issue from the position of pro-life and pro-choice.
This isn't an easy read and Picoult doesn't give easy answers. But it is eye opening.
I found the author’s decision to tell the story in reverse chronological order to be somewhat confusing. I didn’t appreciate the telling until the very end.
I appreciate Picoult’s literary efforts and decisions. Very well done.
