When I finished reading Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult I had to learn how to make an origami elephant from a dollar bill. It shows up all through the book. I also had to look up elephant sanctuaries which she gives a link to at the end of the book. I have a new found respect for elephants and the people who take care of them. I loved the book for so many reasons including the elephant connection but mostly because the end was a complete surprise to me. I don't really believe in psychics but her novel makes me consider them with a different viewpoint than before. I usually pick up the hints early in a book on where the story is going but I did not see this one coming.
Again I found myself reading and re reading the descriptions so well done by Jodi Picoult. I laughed out loud many times and felt pretty sad a few times too. I give her a 5* rating because it's a book I may read more than once. Tweet this If Elephants never forget, do they forgive?
