Today, I went to San bookshop to get another Jodi Picoult's book - Plain Truth. It's about an Amish girl. It was interesting to read not because of the storyline (see synopsis below) but the use of some German, subtly with translations.
See, I attended basic German course at Goethe-Institut before and I could relate to some words used in the book. German language is fun to learn, but tough.
Synopsis (from J Picoult's website):
Moving seamlessly from psychological drama to courtroom suspense, Plain Truth is a fascinating portrait of Amish life rarely witnessed by those outside the faith. When a young Amish teen hides a pregnancy, gives birth in secret, and then flatly denies it all when the baby's body is found, urban defense attorney Ellie Hathaway decides to defend her. But she finds herself caught in a clash of cultures with a people whose channels of justice are markedly different from her own… and discovers a place where circumstances are not always what they seem.
