My Sister's Keeper

In My Sister’s Keeper, Jodi Picoult explores a family pushed to its limits by love, illness and impossible choices. Thirteen-year-old Anna has spent her life undergoing medical procedures designed to help keep her older sister, Kate, alive as she battles leukaemia. Conceived as a genetic match, Anna has never questioned her role in the family until she begins to ask what her own life and body should belong to. Told through multiple perspectives, this contemporary novel digs into the ethics of medical decision-making, parental responsibility and sibling bonds. As Anna makes a decision that challenges everything her family has built their lives around, Picoult asks where duty ends and individual rights begin.
