The Book Of Two Ways

 As a fan of Jodi Picoult, I read her latest book, The Book Of Two Ways, that was published in 2020. Unlike many of her other books, this one is not about a social issue and did not involve a courtroom scene. The main character in this story if Dawn Edelstein. Dawn is employed as a death doula (yes, that is really a thing).  Coming back from a trip to Europe to fulfill the final wishes of one of her clients, her flight has a crash landing. Facing possible impending death, her thoughts turn to Wyatt, a man she studied with and worked with as an archeologist in Egypt. Surprised by the fact she didn't think about her husband and daughter, she decides to go to Egypt after the crash landing instead of home. This book had a crazy amount of technical information about Quantum physics, hieroglyphics, and Egyptology. I just skimmed over the technological parts. I did enjoy the story about Dawn and the decisions she made in her life.
