In America, the law gives you immunity from testifying against you husband in a court of law... there is no such immunity as regards testifying against your child.

"Odd, since a child was the one who had your smile, or your eyes, or at the very least, your blood running through its veins. Gus would have been ten times more likely to give evidence against James than Chris. And it was not a matter of perjury, in her mind, but motherhood."

And when you are the parent of a son who is accused of murder… not only murder in fact, but of the killing of your best friend’s daughter – worse, much worse then the strong possibility that it was a failed attempt at a joint suicide – then life disintegrates. Confusion and desperation engulf both families totally.

For eighteen years, the Hartes and the Golds have been neighbours and best friends. It is no surprise to anyone when Chris and Emily progress from childhood buddies to lovers. They are soul mates – bound together inextricably and in each other’s company much more then their family’s. But now only one thing is certain … Chris is alive and Emily is dead. Whatever pact they had, it looks like the families will never know because Chris is not talking.

Searching for the truth, both families are forced to question their relationship with their children – and to face up to the fact that they might not have known them so well after all.

Tense, gripping, heartbreaking and beautifully, carefully crafted, THE PACT is Jodi Picoult writing at her very best.
