Allen & Unwin advise new Jodi Picould title out today


A life hanging in the balance ... a family torn apart. The internationally bestselling author Jodi Picoult tells an unforgettable story about family, love, and letting go.


Edward Warren, twenty-four, has been living in Thailand for five years, a prodigal son who left his family after an irreparable fight with his father, Luke. But he gets a frantic phone call: His dad lies comatose, gravely injured in the same accident that has also injured his younger sister Cara.
With her father's chances for recovery dwindling, Cara wants to wait for a miracle. But Edward wants to terminate life support and donate his father's organs. Is he motivated by altruism, or revenge? And to what lengths will his sister go to stop him from making an irrevocable decision?
Lone Wolf explores the notion of family, and the love, protection and strength it's meant to offer. But what if the hope that should sustain it, is the very thing that pulls it apart? Another tour de force from Jodi Picoult, Lone Wolf examines the wild and lonely terrain upon which love battles reason.
Allen & Unwin - NZ$39.99 Aust.$32.99


Jodi will be visiting Australia and New Zealand from 15-28 July with her daughter Sammy to promote Between the Lines, their forthcoming book together.
Between the Lines is a classic fairy tale with a uniquely modern twist and a wonderful heroine who crosses the border between reality and fantasy in a perilous search for her own happy ending...
Delilah hates school as much as she loves books. In fact, there's one book in particular she can't get enough of. If anyone knew how many times she has read and re-read the sweet little fairy tale she found in the library, especially the popular kids, she'd be sent to social Siberia ... forever.

To Delilah, though, this fairy tale is more than just words on the page. Sure, there's a handsome (well, okay, hot) prince, and a castle, and an evil villain, but it feels as if there's something deeper going on. And one day, Delilah finds out there is. Turns out, this Prince Charming is real, and a certain fifteen-year-old loner has caught his eye. But they're from two different worlds, and how can it ever possibly work?

Between the Lines will be out in July.
