£25 BOOK & TICKET OPTION ONLYWe are absolutely thrilled to be welcoming global bestselling author Jodi Picoult to Edinburgh for an event celebrating her exceptional new novel, Hollow Bones. Jodi will be in conversation with fellow bestselling author V.E. Schwab.
About the book:
I reach up and unravel my braid. When my hair is loose and whipping around my face, I take the red ribbon I’ve woven through it and press it just beneath my mother’s etched name, underlining. She was here. She was mine.
On September 11th, 2001, when Molly Fitzgerald was only two months old, her mother went to an appointment at the World Trade Center and never came home.
Her father and the stepmother who raised her couldn’t have loved her more, but she still grew up with a healthy dread of disasters.
Now an adult, she runs the Rhode Island Department for Emergency Preparedness, mapping out ways to save lives during storms, epidemics, and airplane crashes. She and her husband, Jesse—a police polygraph expert with his own history of crisis—have found a love that is a solace in a dangerous world.
But then the unexpected upends their new marriage, leading them both to question everything they thought they knew.
