My sister's Keeper - Jodi Picoult

Hai.. Mesti you guys dapat teka why i'm putting this picture here. Ok, yes, you are right, i like this novel recently..
why?
Because it's so heart-wrenching. (heart-wrenching = menyayat hati, lebih kurang la)

Ni preview untuk novel ini :
Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for kate-a life and a role she has never challenged... until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister. So, Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable-a decision that will tear her family apart and possibly have fatal consequences for the sister she loves.

Stakat ni korang rasa sedih tak untuk budak Anna ni? Kalau you guys tak rasa apa2, mmm..., camner nak cakap ye?, mesti ada yg tak kena dengan diri korang. (Baek muhasabah diri)
Camni critanya, Sarah n Brian (Anna's parents), ada 2 org anak, Jesse (oldest) n Kate (yg sakit tuh). Tiba2, Kate didiagnos sakit acute promyelocytic leukemia. (penyakit yg sgt berbahaya and highly fatal). so, Sarah n Brian ni nak rawat la Kate ni. Tapi they need a match donor for bone marrow harvesting. The only chance is their only son, Jesse. But then, Jesse isn't genetically matched to Kate.
This is how kisah ini bermula.. Anna dilahirkan atas faktor untuk mengubati kakaknya, kate yg sangat nazak. Tapi kerana kakaknya jgak, Anna diabaikan. Jesse lg kesian. Langsung tak dipandang. (takdela smapai tak dipandang. Literally, i mean)
I'm not finnish reading it yet...
But as far as i'd gone, i was sooooo deeply moved.

Let me quote some part of it.
'I don't think anyone would come to my funeral. My parents, I guess, and Aunt Zanne and maybe Mr. Ollincott, the social studies teacher...' Piccoult, Jodi (2004), My Sister's Keeper
How sad is that?
'At Kate's funeral. everyone will come. There will be nurses from the hospital who've gotten to be our friends,...'
'The news paper will run a story of her short and tragic life. Mark my words, it will be on the front page.' Piccoult, Jodi (2004), My Sister's Keeper

From the beginning, you guys boleh guess out, Anna ni agak diabaikan sedikit dari segi keperluan dan loves oleh parents dia.
The same goes to her brother, Jesse. Memang kesian sgt kat Anna and espceially Jesse. Since this book is about a court's case, Anna mmg dpt tumpuan dari seorang lawyer yg digambarkan handsome+hebat, Campbell Alexander.
Nama dia mmg unik siket.. a backward name..
Si Campbell ni pun ada kisah tersendiri jugak.. Tapi disebabkan i'm not finnished reading it yet, you guys kena tunggu untuk tahu apa citer mamat sorang ni...
I'll update you guys on this novel soon.. Pinky promise! ;p
Till then, Happy Lunar New Year!!
