  My Sisters Keeper is Jodi Picoults 11th novel. It centres around Anna Fitzgerald who has retained lawyer Campbell Alexander to sue her parents for the right to her own body. Anna was conceived to provide (initially) cord blood for her older sister Kate who has leukaemia. As she has grown up and as Kates disease has progressed, more and more has been demanded of Annas body for her sister. The story of what happens is told in several voices: Annas, her mother Saras, her brother Jesses, her father Brians, her lawyer Campbells, and her guardian ad litem, Julias. this is a provocative novel that does not shy away from the issues: conceiving a child to save another; who has rights over a minors body; is it possible to love a child too much; is it possible to love all ones children equally; teenage pyromania. As always, Picoult handles the court scenes with finesse, and the final twist makes for a perfect ending. A great read!

  I read this book in 2 days, simply because I just couldn't stop reading it. The way Jodie wrote this book is incredible. When you finish reading the book its like you know every character personally because each chapter is a different character explaining their story. It is a great story line and I recommend this book as it is amazingly written and has a surprise ending that you will not expect.
