A Spark of Light

If I could build a shrine for any author, it would be for Jodi Picoult. This book, like every single one of hers, is absolutely heartbreaking and so, so nuanced.

The themes are dealt with such finesse and the characterisations are so brilliant you can't help but feel for everyone involved - and I guess that's the point. No matter the views, opinions and beliefs we hold, it is so easy to forget our 'opponents' are humans too and no side is the caricature the other makes it out to be.

It's a gutwrenching read that took me on a rollercoaster of emotions. I could not put it down and finished the whole book in one sitting. 10/10 absolutely recommend!
