Synopsis
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'A writer the world needs to be reading right now' The Independent
'An apposite and nuanced novel... Picoult writes about an emotive, controversial issue with unflinching precision.' Red
'A very special novel about a very difficult subject.' Grazia
'Her intelligent, meticulously researched novels explore ethical dilemmas through heartrending, headline-grabbing scenarios' The Sunday Times
The Center for women's reproductive health offers a last chance at hope - but nobody ends up there by choice.
Its very existence is controversial, and to the demonstrators who barricade the building every day, the service it offers is no different from legalised murder.
Now life and death decisions are being made horrifyingly real: a lone protester with a gun has taken the staff, patients and visitors hostage.
Starting at the tensest moment in the negotiations for their release, A Spark of Light unravels backwards, revealing hour by urgent hour what brought each of these people - the gunman, the negotiator, the doctors, nurses and women who have come to them for treatment - to this point.
And certainties unwind as truths and secrets are peeled away, revealing the complexity of balancing the right to life with the right to choose.

Review
A writer the world needs to be reading right now (The Independent)
An apposite and nuanced novel... Picoult writes about an emotive, controversial issue with unflinching precision (Red)
An urgent, shocking and human story. (Daisy Buchanan)
It is hard to exaggerate how well Picoult writes (Financial Times)
Incredibly compelling and page turning (Dolly Alderton)
Expertly written... This topical novel presents both sides of the ever-present abortion debate in the form of a harrowing, thought-provoking story that will stay with you long after you've turned the last page (The Book Bag)
With an intricate backward-weaving structure, a host of compelling voices and her captivating tone, this is a very special novel about a very difficult subject (Grazia)
...this emotionally charged and thought-provoking drama cements Picoult's status as one of the most fearless novelists writing today. A Spark of Light is not only topical, unflinching and utterly compelling, it's also an important read. (Heat)
Like a modern Mrs Gaskell or a contemporary such as John Grisham, her intelligent, meticulously researched novels explore ethical dilemmas through heartrending, headline-grabbing scenarios (The Sunday Times)
Picoult's novels are meticulously researched and she never shies away from controversial material. Told in reverse chronological order, each character's story draws the reader in (Women and Home)
Book Description
