#1Â NEW YORK TIMESÂ BESTSELLER â‚¬Â A deeply moving, gripping, and intelligent page-turner about a daughterâ‚¬s search for her mother,Â Leaving TimeÂ is Jodi Picoult at the height of her powers.

Includes the novella Larger Than Life

Throughout her blockbuster career, Jodi Picoult has seamlessly blended nuanced characters, riveting plots, and rich prose, brilliantly creating stories that â‚¬Å“not only provoke the mind but touch the flawed souls in all of usâ‚¬Â (The Boston Globe).Â Now, inÂ Leaving Time,Â she has delivered a book unlike anything sheâ‚¬s written before.

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 she was abandoned, Jenna searches for her mother regularly online and pores over the pages of Aliceâ‚¬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 motherâ‚¬s whereabouts.

Desperate to find the truth, Jenna enlists two unlikely allies in her quest: Serenity Jones, a psychic who rose to fame finding missing persons, only to later doubt her gifts, and Virgil Stanhope, the jaded private detective whoâ‚¬d originally investigated Aliceâ‚¬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, theyâ‚¬ll have to face even harder answers.

As Jennaâ‚¬s memories dovetail with the events in her motherâ‚¬s journals, the story races to a mesmerizing finish.
