About this listen
For more than a decade, Jenna Metcalf has never stopped thinking about her mother, Alice, who mysteriously disappeared in the wake of a tragic accident.
Refusing to believe she was abandoned, Jenna searches for her mother regularly online and pores over the pages of Alice’s old journals.
A scientist who studied grief among elephants, Alice wrote mostly of her research among the animals she loved, yet Jenna hopes the entries will provide a clue to her mother’s whereabouts.
Desperate to find the truth, Jenna enlists two unlikely allies in her quest: Serenity Jones, a psychic who rose to fame finding missing persons, only to later doubt her gifts, and Virgil Stanhope, the jaded private detective who’d originally investigated Alice’s case along with the strange, possibly linked death of one of her colleagues.
As the three work together to uncover what happened to Alice, they realise that in asking hard questions, they’ll have to face even harder answers. As Jenna’s memories dovetail with the events in her mother’s journals, the story races to a mesmerising finish. A deeply moving, gripping, and intelligent page-turner, Leaving Time is Jodi Picoult at the height of her powers.

Loved it.
My third Jodi Picoult did not disappoint. Don't want to say anymore other than this is a must for anyone who loves a good mystery .... also the detail about elephant behaviour is nothing short of amazing. I am so glad I bought this book .... I listened to it twice and enjoyed it even more the second time even though I knew the ending!!!!

Great Story! Interesting Plot twist
great story twist. one of the narrators is very monotone and at the start hard to listen to, but a few chapters in as you get to know the character the voice really suits her.

Fantastic story a must read!!
Many twists and turns that all have a rightful place in this very clever story. You can learn all sorts of wonderful facts about elephants, must have been the author’s passion…. I am a complete Jodi Picoult fan now after reading three books, each one so different but written so cleverly. Narration was fabulous.

The magic of elephants
A very interesting story, which includes fascinating information about elephant behaviour.
The story is gripping, with an unusual twist at the end.
I found Alice's voice rather soporific and found that I was losing concentration in her segments of the story. Jenna's performance was excellent!
This audio book would appeal to someone interested in elephants and the paranormal.

Absolutely brilliant
Love, love, love this book. Such a great story about the elephants and their journeys. The characters parts were really well read. Coming from South Africa and hearing of places we have been makes me miss the wildlife. I did however not expect the story to end the way it did, but awesome story.

An awesome twist...
The narration was great. The story was incapsulating with an awesome twist I didn't see coming. Great work Jodie Picoult!
