Songs of the Humpback Whale by Jodi Picault
I’ve read a few books by Jodi Picault and Songs of the Humpback Whale blends in with the others. Picault is very attached to motherhood and long term relationships–not two of my specialities–but her characters are vivid and sympathetic enough to keep my attention. This one was a bit of a tragedy in that no one ends up happy, and yet she presents the fact that the lead character is going to go on being a wife and mother as triumph enough.
