ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Leaving Time" by Jodi Picoult centers on Jenna Metcalf, a young woman determined to uncover the truth behind her mother Alice's disappearance ten years earlier from an elephant sanctuary. Alice was an elephant researcher studying their capacity for memory and grief. Jenna's quest leads her to team up with a former detective who initially investigated the case and a psychic, as they delve into the mysteries surrounding the sanctuary, Alice's research, and the complex relationships within her family. The narrative explores themes of mother-daughter bonds, the intricacies of memory, and the emotional lives of elephants, drawing parallels between their experiences of loss and human grief.
