Sing you home reviews7/7/2023 Picoult is with the times, and writes through the perspectives of Zoe, Vanessa, and Max for a polished work. Several current social issues combined into one with Sing You Home: divorce, gay rights and relationships, Christianity, definitions of “family,” and gender roles. After Zoe and Vanessa, now married, decide to have a baby, they realize that they must join battle with Max, who objects on both religious and financial grounds.Īs usual, Picoult shares an exquisitely compelling story by taking a controversial topic and creating layers of complication that grips the heart and questions moral and ethical issues.

One miscarriage too many spelled the end of Max and Zoe Baxter’s marriage.
