"Songs of the Humpback Whale," written by Jodi Picoult, is told in five voices: Jane, Rebecca (Jane's daughter), Oliver (Jane's husband), Joley (Jane's brother) and Sam (Jane's lover). Each of them take turns telling their story. This is an early novel by Picoult. She tells a good story. If I had one criticism of the book, I'd say the story didn't have to be so repetitive. After three or four people tell their version of an incident, I don't want to hear about it anymore.
