Magpie by Elizabeth Day is a story that is told and then retold from the perspectives of two of the main characters. As the book continues, it is possible to realize why the story is believable in both versions and the reader comes to know which version is closer to the truth and why. There is suspense, concern, frustration, etc., as aspects of the story are revealed--a controlling mother of an adult child, a bipolar character who functions well as long as medications are taken, a couple wanting a baby so bad that they go through IVF and consider the doctor's recommendation of either getting a surrogate or consider adoption. I enjoyed the twists and turns and the tension that built up. I gave the book 4 stars out of 5.
