Über diesen Titel

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In “the most important novel Jodi Picoult has ever written” (The Washington Post), the acclaimed author tackles race, privilege, prejudice, justice, and compassion—and doesn’t offer easy answers.

“A gripping courtroom drama . . . Given the current political climate it is quite prescient and worthwhile. . . . This is a writer who understands her characters inside and out.”—Roxane Gay, The New York Times Book Review

Ruth Jefferson is a labor and delivery nurse at a Connecticut hospital with more than twenty years’ experience. During her shift, Ruth begins a routine checkup on a newborn, only to be told a few minutes later that she’s been reassigned to another patient. The parents are white supremacists and don’t want Ruth, who is Black, to touch their child. The hospital complies with their request, but the next day, the baby goes into cardiac distress while Ruth is alone in the nursery. Does she obey orders or does she intervene?

Ruth hesitates before performing CPR and, as a result, is charged with a serious crime. Kennedy McQuarrie, a white public defender, takes her case but gives unexpected advice: Kennedy insists that mentioning race in the courtroom is not a winning strategy. Conflicted by Kennedy’s counsel, Ruth tries to keep life as normal as possible for her family—especially her teenage son—as the case becomes a media sensation. As the trial moves forward, Ruth and Kennedy must gain each other’s trust, and come to see that what they’ve been taught their whole lives about others—and themselves—might be wrong.

Kritikerstimmen

Small Great Things is the most important novel Jodi Picoult has ever written. . . . It will challenge her readers . . . [and] expand our cultural conversation about race and prejudice.”The Washington Post

“A novel that puts its finger on the very pulse of the nation that we live in today . . . a fantastic read from beginning to end, as can always be expected from Picoult, this novel maintains a steady, page-turning pace that makes it hard for readers to put down. It also allows for conversations to be had and for people to sit back and look at their lives, actions (past and present) and wonder how they will move forward. This is a fantastic book not only because it addresses something that happens in America and around the world every day, but it also shows us that change is possible too.”San Francisco Book Review

“A gripping courtroom drama . . . Given the current political climate it is quite prescient and worthwhile. . . . This is a writer who understands her characters inside and out.”—Roxane Gay, The New York Times Book Review

Small Great Things embraces . . . empathy, hope and humility.”Newsday

“[An] author at the top of her heart-rending game.”—The National

“A gripping read about an issue of urgency.”—The Vancouver Sun

“A book that needs to be read.”—The Detroit News

“Exciting and fast-paced.”New York Journal of Books

“[Picoult] offers a thought-provoking examination of racism in America today, both overt and subtle. Her many readers will find much to discuss in the pages of this topical, moving book.”Booklist (starred review)

“Powerful . . . revelations abound.”—The Free Lance-Star

“Picoult has outdone herself.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“A courageous and important work.”Minneapolis Star Tribune

“I couldn’t put it down. Her best yet!”New York Times bestselling author Alice Hoffman

“A compelling, can’t-put-it-down drama with a trademark [Jodi] Picoult twist.”Good Housekeeping

“It’s Jodi Picoult, the prime provider of literary soul food. This riveting drama is sure to be supremely satisfying and a bravely thought-provoking tale on the dangers of prejudice.”Redbook

“Jodi Picoult is never afraid to take on hot topics, and in Small Great Things, she tackles race and discrimination in a way that will grab hold of you and refuse to let you go. . . . This page-turner is perfect for book clubs.”Popsugar

Eine bewegende Geschichte, erzählt aus drei Perspektiven unterschiedlicher Charaktere. Diese sind wunderbar gezeichnet - glaubwürdig, teils verstörend. Zum Teil legte ich bewusst Hörpausen ein, um mich auf die weitere Erzählung gefasst zu machen, denn der Inhalt nahm mich mit. Das Buch eröffnete mir völlig neue Perspektiven und regte mich zum Nachdenken ein. Es wird sicher noch eine Weile in mir arbeiten.
Ich kann es auf jeden Fall sehr empfehlen.

Großartige, Horizont erweiternde Erzählung

All people should read or listen to this book. It seems that we collectively forgot how we truly feel and live our lives. We are ignorant of the pain we cause by this losing connection to parts of our society we conveniently do not belong to, even if we do not consciously think we do not belong to them.
Can we learn to really, deeply connect? Can we offer the "others" our hearts and ears, so we can all heal?

What we believe to be true.

I'm not much of reader about ethical/racial differences and like many I believe that I'm not a racist myself. The notion of active vs. passive racism as well as court procedures talked about in this book were striking. It's not only about the racial differences, the book captures the real human feelings behind these topics so emotionally, so honest and so well. It keeps you curious about the plot, but most importantly it makes you think about how you view the world, it challenges you.

If you were to read one book about racial discrimination, read this one. Not dry, but intense and honest. Made me change my perception. Thank you.

An eye-opener - definite must read
