Vanishing Acts would be a good read for those who enjoy page-turners that explore the complexities of family dynamics and the power of memory. Jodi Picoult excels in building suspense and delivering unexpected plot twists. This book is no exception as it interweaves a kidnapping mystery with a journey of self-discovery. The most unique aspect of this book is how it raises ethical and moral dilemmas through characters with complex motivations and beliefs. Picoult's writing creates a vivid story world that is both intricately plotted and deeply introspective.

And Delia's past and present fracture into little pieces.



VANISHING ACTS is a book about the very nature and power of memory. It explores what happens when the past we have been running from catches up to us, and questions who we trust to tell us the story of our lives before we are capable of remembering it ourselves.
