WISH YOU WERE HERE BY JODI PICOULT Diane O’Toole is on the brink of achieving all her life goals, both personally and professionally. As an art specialist at Sotheby’s, she is close to being offered her dream promotion, and she believes her surgical resident boyfriend is going to pop the question on their planned holiday to the Galapagos to celebrate her thirtieth birthday. However, when a deadly pandemic breaks out in New York her boyfriend can’t leave but insists she takes the trip anyway. As the pandemic worsens across the globe, Diane finds herself quarantined on the Galapagos with her luggage lost and virtually no WIFI. Finding herself stuck and surrounded by strangers, she begins examining and revaluating her life, her goals and herself. A profound tale of loneliness, resilience, and hope.
