Now, the author of Salem Falls and Plain Truth examines the fault lines of a troubled marriage in <i>Picture Perfect</i>-an "unfailingly intelligent...undeniably literary psychological drama."(<i>Booklist</i>) <br><br> "Picoult writes with an all-knowing and piercing eye. Hers is an important book from a talented writer we hope to hear from again and again." (<i>Library Journal</i>)<br/><br/>To the outside world, they seem to have it all. Cassie Barrett, a renowned anthropologist, and Alex Rivers, one of Hollywood's hottest actors, met on the set of a motion picture in Africa. They shared childhood tales, toasted the future, and declared their love in a fairy-tale wedding. But when they return to California, something alters the picture of their perfect marriage. A frightening pattern is taking shape-a cycle of hurt, denial, and promises, thinly veiled by glamour. Torn between fear and something that resembles love, Cassie wrestles with questions she never dreamed she would face: How can she leave? Then again, how can she stay? 3349571 1995 Picture Perfect total:6512|5:944|4:2111|3:2498|2:792|1:167| 6512 22409 9866 607 1 2 false false Sun Jan 13 10:54:25 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 13 10:58:21 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 1 false false Mon Apr 28 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun May 25 03:33:22 -0700 2008 Sun May 25 03:33:56 -0700 2008

I did like her use of Indian folklore as a background but I felt like it could have been explored more, that Will’s life was more interesting.
