A very pleasurable beginning with Diana and her surgeon partner Finn sharing their life together. Being very adventurous and having a travel bucket list with their desire to visit the Galapagos islands together. No spoilers, but we were lead to believe that Diana visited the island on her own as Finn was involved with the outbreak of Covid at the hospital , and in New York where they live. The island that she allegedly visited was closed down when she arrived. She was then stranded, and couldn't return home. I loved the descriptive and view of this fascinating part of the world. But out of the blue came a twist that I didn't see coming. Covid was the focus of the rest of the story . I learnt more about this global epidemic that I had know before and how it affected those poor people that went through this period in our lives. The end was very unnerving ,and I found it hard to read. It is still having a profound effect on me, but a truly wonderful read. Review: Enjoyable but - I liked the premise behind this book, being set during COVID made it particularly moving in places. The last few chapters felt like they were racing to get to a sadly predictable and disappointing ending. The book is mostly strong and engaging but then peters away and you can feel indecision about where to take the story, the abrupt end is just very flat, so that's why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 23,352 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 278 in Women's Literary Fiction (Books) 438 in Psychological Fiction (Books) 923 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (52,966) | | Dimensions | 12.8 x 2.6 x 19.6 cm | | ISBN-10 | 1473692539 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1473692534 | | Item weight | 240 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 336 pages | | Publication date | 18 Aug. 2022 | | Publisher | Hodder Paperbacks | ## Images ![Wish You Were Here: A completely gripping, unputdownable novel from the bestselling author of My Sister's Keeper - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ASNdTK6qL.jpg) ![Wish You Were Here: A completely gripping, unputdownable novel from the bestselling author of My Sister's Keeper - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51M9kDwGh+L.jpg) ![Wish You Were Here: A completely gripping, unputdownable novel from the bestselling author of My Sister's Keeper - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51m6H7zWljL.jpg) ![Wish You Were Here: A completely gripping, unputdownable novel from the bestselling author of My Sister's Keeper - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tjoVmiFzL.jpg) ![Wish You Were Here: A completely gripping, unputdownable novel from the bestselling author of My Sister's Keeper - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81K88DeY4iL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Go on an extraordinary journey with twists galore *by A***R on 31 October 2025* I was torn by this journey that has opened Infront of me.

The last few chapters felt like they were racing to get to a sadly predictable and disappointing ending. The book is mostly strong and engaging but then peters away and you can feel indecision about where to take the story, the abrupt end is just very flat, so that's why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An incredible novel that addresses the pandemic with compassion *by V***N on 26 November 2021* ‘Wish You We’re Here’ by Jodi Picoult is a novel that she hadn’t expected to write. Yet I am very pleased that she did. I found this an amazing book, though it can be hard to find the right words when a novel has had a profound effect, yet I will try. First, a word of caution: Jodi Picoult has never shied away from writing about uncomfortable subjects. This novel contains graphic accounts of people with Covid-19 as well as its wider consequences. It is a novel that I would also suggest reading ‘cold’, so only a brief summary. Friday, the 13th March 2020 and Diana O'Toole's life is going well. At the age of twenty-nine she has a job she loves as an art specialist at Sotheby's New York and has recently secured an important client; an achievement that likely will lead to a promotion. She and her boyfriend, Finn, are about to leave on vacation to the Galapagos and she suspects that while there he is going to propose. So far it could be the set up for a romance novel. Then Finn, a surgical resident at a NYC hospital, advises Diane that with the increasing cases of the new virus that the hospital needs him to stay. He insists that she should still go and reluctantly Diane agrees. However, as Diane arrives in the Galapagos the world is shutting down, including her destination, Isabela Island. She elects to stay but finds herself stranded, with only intermittent news from the outside world. While on the island she makes connections with local people as well as with nature, and begins to contemplate aspects of her life to date. No further details to avoid spoilers. As noted above, Picoult does not hold back on depicting the effects of the virus, not only on those infected but by loved ones distraught when unable to visit or say goodbye as well as the experiences of members of the medical profession. It considers the grief and loss, both personal and collective, experienced by many during the pandemic. It also portrays how people responded to quarantine, lockdown and restrictions: baking, box sets, boredom, learning to Zoom, and the like. It brought back vivid memories of those early days of the pandemic when uncertainty was high. I was blown away by this novel on many levels. Given that Diane is sharing her story in the first person, though with additional material, it is an personal account. There was its central story though I was also drawn by details of the exclusive art world in which Diane works; an appreciation of the natural world and, given the location of the Galapagos, musings on Darwin’s theory of evolution. Spirituality and the sense of purpose also plays an important part in the narrative though in a subtle way. Perhaps most importantly is the journey that we all face in coming to terms with death. I appreciated Jodi Picoult’s Author’s Note in which she details the intense research that she undertook in order to portray experiences by inviting survivors to share their accounts. I also expect that ‘Wish You Were Here’ will prove popular with reading groups as it offers a great deal of scope for discussion alongside a good read. Despite a theme that appears dark, there is still hope interwoven throughout. As one character says to Diane: “we are in uncharted territory…The future is completely up in the air.” Overall, I feel that ‘Wish You Were Here’ is an important novel. A novel with heart that is complex and multilayered, yet accessible. It has also given me new perspectives to consider. Very highly recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/399974831-wish-you-were-here-a-completely-gripping-unputdownable-novel-from](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/399974831-wish-you-were-here-a-completely-gripping-unputdownable-novel-from) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
