For more than a decade, Jenna Metcalf has never stopped thinking about her mother, Alice, who mysteriously disappeared in the wake of a tragic accident. Refusing to believe that she would be abandoned as a young child, Jenna searches for her mother regularly online and pores over the pages of Alice's old journals. A scientist who studied grief among elephants, Alice wrote mostly of her research among the animals she loved, yet Jenna hopes the entries will provide a clue to her mother's whereabouts. Desperate to find the truth, Jenna enlists two unlikely allies in her quest. The first is Serenity Jones, a psychic who rose to fame finding missing persons—only to later doubt her gifts. The second is Virgil Stanhope, a jaded private detective who originally investigated Alice's case along with the strange, possibly linked death of one of her colleagues. As the three work together to uncover what happened to Alice, they realize that in asking hard questions, they’ll have to face even harder answers. As Jenna's memories dovetail with the events in her mother's journals, the story races to a mesmerizing finish. A deeply moving, gripping, and intelligent page-turner, Leaving Time is Jodi Picoult at the height of her powers.

Jodi Picoult
Jodi Picoult nasceu e cresceu em Long Island. Estudou Inglês e escrita criativa na Universidade de Princeton e publicou dois contos na revista Seventeen enquanto ainda era estudante. O seu espírito realista e a necessidade de pagar a renda levaram Jodi Picoult a ter uma série de empregos diferentes depois de se formar: trabalhou numa correctora, foi copywriter numa agência de publicidade, trabalhou numa editora e foi professora de inglês. Aos 38 anos é autora de onze best sellers e em 2003 foi galardoada com o New England Bookseller Award for Fiction.
