Book Description

In her highly acclaimed novel My Sister's Keeper, bestselling author Jodi Picoult tells the provocative story of one family's struggle for survival at all costs.

Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate - a life and a role she has never challenged...until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister. So, Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable - a decision that will tear her family apart and possibly have fatal consequences for the sister she loves.

"[A] tense, high-concept piece of women's fiction in the tradition of Anna Quindlen and Rosellen Brown."

硃迪·皮考特，美國當代著名暢銷書作傢，小說傢。1992年齣版第一部小說以來，十五部作品無一不持續暢銷，甚至每有新作，必迅速登上《紐約時報》、《華盛頓郵報》、亞馬遜網站等暢銷書榜首位。作品涉及的尖銳話題．也迅速在全美國甚至全球引發激烈爭議。

作傢總能以超凡的敏銳捕捉新銳題材安樂死、器官移植、青少年自殺、剋隆、乾細胞……這些人類至今莫衷一是的話題，常常成為她書寫的焦點，常常使她筆下的人物，既極具濃鬱的倫理爭議，又背負深重的悲涼宿命。難得的是，作傢並非討論“問題”，而以綿密細緻的小說筆法編織精彩絕倫的感人情節，以深情靈動的語言和齣人意料的轉閤，寫盡人間至情。
