Synopsis

'A writer the world should be reading right now.' Independent Who would you be, if you hadn't turned out to be the person you are now? Dawn is a death doula, and spends her life helping people make the final transition peacefully. But when the plane she's on plummets, she finds herself thinking not of the perfect life she has, but the life she was forced to abandon fifteen years ago - when she left behind a career in Egyptology, and a man she loved. Against the odds, she survives, and the airline offers her a ticket to wherever she needs to get to - but the answer to that question suddenly seems uncertain. As the path of her life forks in two very different directions, Dawn must confront questions she's never truly asked: What does a well-lived life look like? What do we leave behind when we go? And do we make our choices, or do our choices make us? Two possible futures. One impossible choice. 'It is hard to exaggerate how well Picoult writes.' Financial Times 'Her intelligent, meticulously researched novels explore ethical dilemmas through heartrending, headline-grabbing scenarios.' The Sunday Times 'A matchless talent for hitting emotional notes.' Irish Times Terjemahnya : 'Seorang penulis dunia harus membaca sekarang.' Mandiri Siapa Anda, jika Anda tidak berubah menjadi diri Anda sekarang? Dawn adalah doula kematian, dan menghabiskan hidupnya membantu orang melakukan transisi terakhir dengan damai. Tetapi ketika pesawat yang dia naiki jatuh, dia mendapati dirinya tidak memikirkan kehidupan sempurna yang dia miliki, tetapi kehidupan yang terpaksa dia tinggalkan lima belas tahun yang lalu - ketika dia meninggalkan karir di Egyptology, dan seorang pria yang dia cintai. Melawan rintangan, dia bertahan, dan maskapai penerbangan menawarkan tiket ke mana pun dia perlu pergi - tetapi jawaban atas pertanyaan itu tiba-tiba tampak tidak pasti. Saat jalan hidupnya bercabang ke dua arah yang sangat berbeda, Dawn harus menghadapi pertanyaan yang tidak pernah dia tanyakan: Seperti apa kehidupan yang dijalani dengan baik? Apa yang kita tinggalkan ketika kita pergi? Dan apakah kita membuat pilihan kita, atau apakah pilihan kita yang menentukan kita? Dua kemungkinan masa depan. Satu pilihan yang mustahil. 'Sulit untuk melebih-lebihkan seberapa baik Picoult menulis.' Waktu keuangan 'Novel-novelnya yang cerdas dan diteliti dengan cermat mengeksplorasi dilema etika melalui skenario yang menyayat hati dan menjadi berita utama.' Waktu Minggu 'Bakat yang tak tertandingi untuk memukul nada emosional.' Waktu Irlandia
