I really enjoy Picoult's writing and I first read this in 2010 and gave it 5 stars. This all links into what happened to make her husband so angry and why she is outside. Paige's mother abandoned her as a child and Paige has prior for running too. The book goes back to when Paige and Nicholas first meet and how their relationship begins until we are back to present day. The husband is visibly angry and moves from her line of sight. This book finds us opening with Paige, outside her home watching her husband and little boy through the window. I love Jodi Picoult novels, they always make you think about how you would feel and what would you do. Out of Paige's struggle to find wholeness, Jodi Picoult crafts an absorbing novel peopled by richly drawn characters and explores issues and emotions readers can relate to. But her mother's absence, and shameful memories of her past, make her doubt both her maternal ability and her sense of self worth. Now, having left her father behind in Chicago for dreams of art school and marriage to an ambitious young doctor, she finds herself with a child of her own.
Paige has only a few vivid memories of her mother, who left when she was five.
Written with astonishing clarity and evocative detail, convincing in its depiction of emotional pain, love, and vulnerability, Harvesting the Heart recalls the writing of Alice Hoffman and Sue Miller.
