Things break all the time.
Day breaks, waves break, voices break.
Promises break.
Hearts break.
Every expectant parent will tell you that they don't want a perfect baby, just a healthy one. Charlotte and Sean O'Keefe would have asked for a healthy baby, too, if they'd been given the choice. Instead, their lives are made up of sleepless nights, mounting bills, the pitying stares of "luckier" parents, and maybe worst of all, the what-ifs. What if their child had been born healthy? But it's all worth it because Willow is, well, funny as it seems, perfect. She's smart as a whip, on her way to being as pretty as her mother, kind, brave, and for a five-year-old an unexpectedly deep source of wisdom. Willow is Willow, in sickness and in health. Everything changes, though, after a series of events forces Charlotte and her husband to confront the most serious what-ifs of all. What if Charlotte should have known earlier of Willow's illness? What if things could have been different? What if their beloved Willow had never been born? To do Willow justice, Charlotte must ask herself these questions and one more. What constitutes a valuable life? Emotionally riveting and profoundly moving, Handle with Care brings us into the heart of a family bound by an incredible burden, a desperate will to keep their ties from breaking, and, ultimately, a powerful capacity for love. Written with the grace and wisdom she's become famous for, beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult offers us an unforgettable novel about the fragility of life and the lengths we will go to protect it.

評分Things break all the time. Day breaks, voices break. Promises break. Hearts break. 重讀一次
評分開頭非常好看,但是後來對道德倫理的拷問不夠,what constitutes a rewarding life? 女律師的內心戲不夠,amelia的成長不夠真實,丈夫的行動不理性,piper的戲份有些少,整個故事的框架非常好,但是缺少血和肉,結尾真的真的很不閤理,太倉促。
評分很感人
評分沒有My Sister's Keeper 那麼好看 當時第一次看她的敘事風格覺得特妙 後來對她這種一直轉換narrater 然後一直圍繞law和醫學的風格有那麼點兒膩 不過她寫的東西都還是不賴的
