I'd been avoiding Picoult for some reason, but picked this up. It's OK, if too long. It's not possible to describe the plot without spoiling it, but it focuses on three childhood friends and their on-going relationships. There are graphic descriptions of US prison life (is it really this bad?), and the way a central character changes while incarcerated is rather unbelievable. But it's a good story. Read it when you've nothing else to do.
