The budding romance between the teenaged children of two families who have been lifelong friends and neighbors culminates tragically in an abortive suicide pact, leading to a gripping courtroom drama. - HARPERCOLL
âEngrossing...The Pact is compelling reading.ââPeople
In this heart-rending tale of love and friendship, Jodi Picoult brings to life a familiar world, and in a single terrifying moment awakens every parentâs worst fear:Â We think we know our children . . . but do we ever really know them at all?
The Golds and the Hartes, neighbors for eighteen years, have always been inseparable. So have their childrenâand itâs no surprise that in high school Chris and Emilyâs friendship blossoms into something more. But the bonds of family, friendship, and passionâwhich had seemed so indestructibleâsuddenly threaten to unravel in the wake of unimaginable tragedy.
When midnight calls from the hospital come in, no one is ready for the truth. Emily is dead at seventeen from a gunshot wound to the head. Thereâs a single unspent bullet in the gun that Chris pilfered from his fatherâs cabinetâa bullet that Chris tells police he intended for himself. But a local detective has doubts about the suicide pact that Chris describes.
This extraordinary, poignant novel paints an indelible portrait of two families in anguish . . . and creates an astonishingly suspenseful courtroom drama as Chris is put on trial for murder.
