hi guys anyone know any recommendations if i like jodi picoult.
Thanks

Hi, I'm also a fan of Jodi Picoult- it's difficult to find writers in a similar vein to her but I've recently read 'Sleep Toward Heaven' by Amanda Eyre Ward and it was quite a gritty subject beautifully written. I also enjoy Anita Shreve books- 'Testimony' might be a good one to try if you've never read any of hers before- check out the summary and see if you think it might interest you, but they're all excellent novels. Hope this helps! :)

You might like Luanne Rice, Barbara Delinsky and Kristin Hannah.

However, try these sites www.literature-map.com You type in the name of the author and it comes up with a web of similar authors. Those nearest your author are the nearest in type.
Also, www.bookarmy.com/similar Scroll down the page after typing in your author and it gives similar authors.

They listed the following:-
Elizabeth Berg
Alice Hoffman
Anita Shreve
Sue Monk Kidd
Ann Pratchett
Nicholas Sparks
Tracy Chevalier
Maeve Binchy
Susan Lewis
Douglas Kennedy
Sarah Dessen
Audrey Niffenegger
Elizabeth Flock
Barbara Delinsky
Kristin Hannah

Try The Coast Road for Barbara Delinsky and Lake News. For Kristin Hannah try Firefly Lane and Magic Hour. Luanne Rice is pretty prolific and I've liked most, but not all, of hers.

Can't recommend any thing quite like Jodi Picoult, but you're obviously a perceptive and intelligent reader. I therefore think you may really enjoy 'Education, Edukation, Edukashun,' by James Rainsford. I read it at one sitting. Literally couldn't put it down. It was the most entertaining book I've read in years.You can read the reviews here: Education, Edukation, Edukashun

Thank you for your help, it is much appreciated.

Ann Tyler's another one you could try.
