I am sorry to say that this was a disappointing book for me. I enjoy Ms.Picoult's writing but this one seemed to be written for a different audience. A more educated audience in the science of Egyptology.  It was interesting to learn about the history of Egypt and hieroglyphics but it really went over my head most of the time.

Then the love story aspect ,  really Jodi.  Way to romancey  for me..  Then the death doula part, while interesting ,was difficult for me because of my mom's death not to long ago.   There is Ms. Picoult's signature twist at the end, more confusing that thought provoking.

Goodreads:

Everything changes in a single moment for Dawn Edelstein. She's on a plane when the flight attendant makes an announcement: prepare for a crash landing. She braces herself as thoughts flash through her mind. The shocking thing is, the thoughts are not of her husband, but a man she last saw fifteen years ago: Wyatt Armstrong.

Dawn, miraculously, survives the crash, but so do all the doubts that have suddenly been raised. She has led a good life. Back in Boston, there is her husband, Brian, her beloved daughter, and her work as a death doula, where she helps ease the transition between life and death for patients in hospice.
