ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"House Rules" by Jodi Picoult tells the story of Jacob Hunt, a teenager with Asperger's syndrome, who is accused of murder. The narrative follows Jacob's family as they navigate the complexities of the legal system, while struggling to understand Jacob's unique perspective. The novel delves into the challenges of communication, the misinterpretations of behavior, and the impact of neurodiversity on both family dynamics and the justice system. It explores themes of empathy, understanding, and the subjective nature of truth, as it questions how society treats those who are different. The story is a suspenseful exploration of how bias and perception influence the search for justice.
