This time she tackles the difficult subject of Covid with a touching and emotional story. There is a beauty of the human spirit that comes through loud and clear.” — Kathy Morrison, Newtown Bookshop, Newtown, PA Description From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Small Great Things and The Book of Two Ways comes “a powerfully evocative story of resilience and the triumph of the human spirit” (Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Malibu Rising) Rights sold to Netflix for adaptation as a feature film Diana O’Toole is perfectly on track. She will be married by thirty, done having kids by thirty-five, and move out to the New York City suburbs, all while climbing the professional ladder in the cutthroat art auction world. She’s an associate specialist at Sotheby’s now, but her boss has hinted at a promotion if she can close a deal with a high-profile client. She’s not engaged just yet, but she knows her boyfriend, Finn, a surgical resident, is about to propose on their romantic getaway to the Galápagos—days before her thirtieth birthday. Right on time. But then a virus that felt worlds away has appeared in the city, and on the eve of their departure, Finn breaks the news: It’s all hands on deck at the hospital. He has to stay behind. You should still go, he assures her, since it would be a shame for all of their nonrefundable trip to go to waste. And so, reluctantly, she goes. Almost immediately, Diana’s dream vacation goes awry. Her luggage is lost, the Wi-Fi is nearly nonexistent, and the hotel they’d booked is shut down due to the pandemic. In fact, the whole island is now under quarantine, and she is stranded until the borders reopen. Completely isolated, she must venture beyond her comfort zone. Slowly, she carves out a connection with a local family when a teenager with a secret opens up to Diana, despite her father’s suspicion of outsiders. In the Galápagos Islands, where Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection was formed, Diana finds herself examining her relationships, her choices, and herself—and wondering if when she goes home, she too will have evolved into someone completely different.

Praise For… “Jodi Picoult once again proves she is the master of wading through the darkness to find the light.”—Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Malibu Rising “Wish You Were Here is a transporting and transcendent novel about seeking out glimmers of light in the darkness, and following them wherever they lead. Jodi Picoult is that rare, one-in-a-million writer whose books both squeeze your heart and expand your mind. Her latest is wise, surprising, and utterly extraordinary.”⁠—Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of People We Meet on Vacation and Beach Read “In Wish You Were Here, Jodi Picoult does something brilliant, cracking open something extraordinary. I am just overwhelmed by this book. I actually finished it at three in the morning and started reading it again.”⁠—Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of With or Without You Product Details ISBN: 9781984818416 ISBN-10: 1984818414 Publisher: Ballantine Books Publication Date: November 30th, 2021 Pages: 336 Language: English Categories Fiction / Women Fiction / Literary Fiction / Sagas Related Editions (all) e-Book (My Must Reads) Kobo eBook (November 30th, 2021): $14.99 CD-Audio (December 14th, 2021): $45.00 Library Binding, Large Print (December 22nd, 2021): $42.89 Search for (almost) any book Advanced Search Shopping cart Items in the cart 0 Items Total: $0.00 Upcoming Events Brené Brown, Atlas of the Heart tour 12/02/2021 - 8:00pm Gibson's Book club reads The Inquisitor's Tale: Or, The Three Magical Children and Their Holy Dog 12/06/2021 - 5:30pm Michael J Fox, No Time Like the Future 12/07/2021 - 7:00pm See All Events The Laydown Podcast The Laydown is a podcast where 3 booksellers from Gibson's Bookstore in Concord, New Hampshire chat about all things literary!
