Look for Jodi Picoultâs new novel, By Any Other Name, available August 20!
Diana OâToole is perfectly on track. She will be married by thirty, done having kids by thirty-five, and move out to the New York City suburbs, all while climbing the professional ladder in the cutthroat art auction world. Sheâs an associate specialist at Sothebyâs now, but her boss has hinted at a promotion if she can close a deal with a high-profile client. Sheâs not engaged just yet, but she knows her boyfriend, Finn, a surgical resident, is about to propose on their romantic getaway to the GalĂĄpagosâdays before her thirtieth birthday. Right on time.
But then a virus that felt worlds away has appeared in the city, and on the eve of their departure, Finn breaks the news: Itâs all hands on deck at the hospital. He has to stay behind. You should still go, he assures her, since it would be a shame for all of their nonrefundable trip to go to waste. And so, reluctantly, she goes.
Almost immediately, Dianaâs dream vacation goes awry. Her luggage is lost, the Wi-Fi is nearly nonexistent, and the hotel theyâd booked is shut down due to the pandemic. In fact, the whole island is now under quarantine, and she is stranded until the borders reopen. Completely isolated, she must venture beyond her comfort zone. Slowly, she carves out a connection with a local family when a teenager with a secret opens up to Diana, despite her fatherâs suspicion of outsiders.
In the GalĂĄpagos Islands, where Darwinâs theory of evolution by natural selection was formed, Diana finds herself examining her relationships, her choices, and herselfâand wondering if when she goes home, she too will have evolved into someone completely different.
