How do you recover the past when it was never yours to lose?

Delia Hopkins has led a charmed life. Raised in rural New Hampshire by her beloved, widowed father, she now has a young daughter, a handsome fiancé, and her own search-and-rescue bloodhound, which she uses to find missing persons. But as Delia plans her wedding, she is plagued by flashbacks of a life she can't recall...until a policeman knocks on her door, revealing a secret about herself that changes the world as she knows it--and threatens to jeopardize her future.

With Vanishing Acts, Jodi Picoult explores how life--as we know it--might not turn out the way we imagined; how the people we've loved and trusted can suddenly change before our very eyes; how the memory we thought had vanished could return as a threat. Once again, Picoult handles an astonishing and timely topic with understanding, insight, and compassion.

Achei estranho o final...passam toda uma vida de um jeito e no final o trem muda... Meio forçado. Como sempre, a autora propõem um tema polêmico em que fica difícil dizer quem tem razão, talvez isso nem seja importante (descobrir quem está certo), talvez o importante mesmo são as reflexões a que somos remetidos. Por elas, o livro é bom.
