Description
House Rules – Jodi Picoult is a provocative and heart-wrenching novel that delves into the complexities of a family living with Asperger’s Syndrome. Jacob Hunt is a brilliant teenager who is extraordinarily organized but struggles with social cues. His life revolves around forensic analysis, often showing up at crime scenes to offer his expertise to the local police.
The story takes a dark turn when Jacob’s tutor is found dead. Because of his hallmark behaviors—such as an inability to make eye contact or inappropriate social reactions—the police immediately view him as a suspect rather than a witness. Suddenly, the Hunt family is thrust into a legal nightmare where they must fight to prove that Jacob’s differences do not equal guilt.
Told from multiple perspectives, Picoult masterfully explores the themes of family loyalty, the flaws in our justice system, and the lengths a mother will go to protect her child.
This copy is in good condition with a solid spine and clean interior pages, making it an excellent read for fans of character-driven legal dramas
