Change of heart, by Jodi Picoult

Jodi's new book is about a seven-year-old girl who needs a heart transplant. It's about a man who wants to give her his heart; he's on death row for killing her sister and step-father. It's about a Catholic priest who was on the jury who convicted the death row inmate. It's about an ACLU attorney who discovers another way to try and stop the death sentence from being carried out. It's about a man who might be the Messiah. Each character tells their viewpoint in the first person, with a different font for each. Does your head hurt yet? Jodi Jodi Jodi, it was a great story idea, but my goodness it was hard to follow. Lots of discussionable issues for a book club though.
