Change Of Heart

Product Information

Change of Heart,” (Picoult’s) 15th novel in as many years, layers on the evidence for proclaiming that among the world’s anticipated events, few merit more celebration than the annual rite of Picoult’s latest foray. Equal parts mystery, legal thriller, family drama and homily, “Change of Heart” hurtles through courtrooms, prison yards, makeshift confessional boths and hospital rooms toward a denouement so riddled with ambiguity it scarcely merits the term. Bourne’s life, death and - dare we say it? - resurrection, loom with purposeful ambiguity, deliciously resolving everything and absolutely nothing. Let the book club debates begin.

Most people wince. Even the polite ones like the eighty year old missionary who comes to bring us pamphlets once a month always does a double-take, as if I look even worse than he remembers.

Best two out of three,” Claire said, and from the folds of her hospital Johnny she raised her fist again. I pulled my art supplies out of my hiding spot in the mattress, rifling through my sketches for the one I’d done of Shay being wheeled off the tier after his seizure. I’d drawn him on the gurney, arms spread and tied down, legs banded together, eyes raised to the ceiling. This time, though, I turned the paper ninety degrees, so that Shay was no longer lying down, but upright.I did not know how long I would be able to convince Claire to stay with me, if this was the condition in which she had to do it.

It’s a little “The Da Vinci Code,”“The Green Mile” and an earlier Picoult book, “Keeping Faith,” all tied up in a book-club-friendly format.”

As you can imagine Shay’s request attracts a lot of media attention – which the prison doesn’t want. They call in a priest to talk some sense into Shay about what redemption really is – and the priest arrives just as Shay begins performing miracles. The priest can remember one other guy who had a death sentence hanging over his head who was performing miracles…and things didn’t work out so well for Jesus in the end, either…and so instead of TALKING to Shay, the priest decides to just listen. But nothing Shay says comes from the Bible. Instead, it comes verbatim from a real, ancient gospel that was rejected as heresy by the Church, and excluded from the Bible. And the priest begins to think: People are always finding God in prison – but what if He was already there? And what if the things he said didn’t match what you’d been told your whole life…but instead, the things you’d been told were WRONG? The wine had already begun to soak into the wafer. I watched, amazed, as a jaw took shape, an ear, an eyebrow. I realized then that even though Shay was a prisoner, he had a certain power over Warden Coyne. He had a certain power over all of us.

Well, in a way, he was right. I may not have been handed down the same sentence as Shay Bourne, but like him, I would die within the walls of this prison – sooner, rather than later. He’s got AIDS.

How would you feel? What changes her mind? A priest has to say Mass every day, even if no one shows up, although this was rarely the case. In a city as large as Concord there were usually at least a handful of parishioners, already praying the rosary by the time I came out in my vestments. I frowned. I could recall seeing something to that effect buried in the local paper, but I didn’t remember anything about the case. Then again, I had only lived in New Hampshire for seven years; and unlike DeeDee, I hadn’t taken up the civil liberties banner until after I graduated from college. She was, at seven, still afraid of the dark. Kurt would lie down beside her, an elephant perched among pink pillows and satin blankets, until she fell asleep; then he’d creep out of the room and turn off the light. Sometimes, she woke up at midnight shrieking. You turned it off, she’d sob into my shoulder, as if I had broken her heart.
