Change of Heart

A Novel

By: Jodi Picoult

Narrated by: Jim Frangione, Stafford Clark-Price, Nicole Poole, Danielle Ferland, Jennifer Ikeda

The beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author and “master of the craft of storytelling” (Associated Press) weaves a spellbinding tale of a mother’s tragic loss and one man’s chance at salvation.

One moment June Nealon is happily looking forward to years of love and laughter with her family. The next, she is facing a future as empty as her heart as she waits for a miracle.

For Shay Bourne, life has no more surprises, and he has nothing to offer the world. In a heartbeat, though, his life is changed by one last chance for redemption through June’s young daughter, Claire. But between June and Shay lies an ocean of bitter regrets and a mother’s rage.

Would you give up revenge against someone you hate if it meant saving someone you love? Would you want your dreams to come true if it meant granting your enemy’s dying wish?

Soul-stirring and haunting, Change of Heart is “another ripped-from-the-zeitgeist winner” (Publishers Weekly) from Jodi Picoult.

A human heart

This story is hard to describe because it is so full... of life, of humanity, of ‘heart’. Life is beautiful and ugly and simple and complicated; perspective all depends on which details you have and which you choose to focus on. All of that is in this book.

I have always been amazed by the capacity of a human heart...and here, of Jodi Picoult’s capacity to write something like this. As a book, it’s a keeper, one that should be passed around until it falls to pieces. It broke me apart and put me back together again.

Many changes, many hearts. One great story

The interplay between characters is easy and rich. The story, at times a little incredulous, is well woven and complete, with a beautiful culmination that, like the title, caused a change of heart.

Great book

One of Hydes BEST work. Couldn't put down. Actually my fiancee was getting kinda miffed at her. I was holding the kindle more than him. Another winner!!!!

Captivating

Excellent story with multiple twists and turns. Performance was top notch with multiple character voices to keep a complex story understandable.

Makes you think…

This book makes you reconsider any preconceived notions you have about capital punishment. The performance of all narrators here were amazing!

Jodi always leave you with goosebumps and a jaw drop.

Amazing story, another win for Jodi Picoult

The use of multiple narrator voices in this audible story really helps to highlight the chapters and various perspectives as the author wrote them. Makes it amazingly easy to follow who is thinking/saying what.
For the story it’s self I highly enjoyed reading and discovering all the different ways A Change Of Heart occurred for the main characters and supporting characters. Each in their own but powerful way. Jodi Picoult is a storytelling master.

Very interesting plot

The book had me wanting to listen day and night. Very unusual plot and the characters were all great. Fun read with thought provoking circumstances. Would definitely recommend!!

Annoying voice but great story

I had trouble getting through the parts of “Maggie”, the voice was irritating and sounded like overacting . However , the story kept me very interested to the end .

Second time reading and wow

I enjoyed reading and feeling the “what ifs” with the story… what if this man on death row is the symbol of a savior? What if he/ she lives/ dies? What if we stop and think about changing hearts? Oh it’s so good! I’ll probably read it again and a million more times.

wow!

bang out fantastic book! needs to be a movie! well done, Jodie!!!!!! if you are catholic, I am sure even more profound but... what a writer!
