Throughout her blockbuster career, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult has seamlessly blended nuanced characters, riveting plots, and rich prose, brilliantly creating stories that “not only provoke the mind but touch the flawed souls in all of us” (The Boston Globe). Now, in her highly anticipated new book, she has delivered her most affecting novel yet—and one unlike anything she’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 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.

I went to bed listening to thé audio book and dreamed of elephants. Woke up and just had to finish it. The characters all have so much life and you can picture them clearly as they move along trying to figure out the next steps. I didn’t want it to end, and found that the last chapters unbearably sad and very poignant.

Beautiful and informative!

Lots of unexpected twists in the story just when you think you understood where it's going. I also loved the theme of animal protection, science and the paranormal. Fascinating book.

I loved this story and how beautifully written it was.
Thank you Jodi Picoult for another great read.
I felt there was some chapters of this book that could have been left out; as much as I enjoyed the elephant storyline in this novel, it would have been nice to have more of the human storyline present as it did drag on from time to time.
I would recommend this book; very twisty ending!
