Asperger's perspective on crime and family dynamics.
"House Rules" dives deep into the gritty intersection between a neurodiverse mind and the inflexible structures of law enforcement. Not only does Picoult give voice to a character often misunderstood by society, but she also crafts a suspenseful narrative that challenges readers to question their preconceptions about guilt, disability, and normalcy. You'll find yourself riding an emotional rollercoaster, questioning the very foundations of justice as seen through the eyes of a family caught in its merciless gears.
