What to expect
What the nurse, her lawyer and the father of the child cannot know is how this death will irrevocably change all of their lives, in ways both expected and not.
Small Great Things is about prejudice and power; it is about that which divides and unites us.
It is about opening your eyes.

Critics Review
-
There is a fire raging, and we have two choices: we can turn our backs, or we can try to fight it
(from the author's afterword)
-
A thought-provoking and unputdownable novel about race and prejudice that shows Picoult at her very best.

The narrative rips along at a great pace, she writes dialogue like a pro, and her suspenseful control of the courtroom scenes is masterfully done.
Independent
-
[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.

As harrowing as it is readable
Independent on THE STORYTELLER
-
With characters that hook the reader into their stories, a well-researched and thought-provoking plot, and an acute eye for detail, this is a novel that deals with big issues: good and evil, forgiveness and redemption, love and justice. I read it in two long sittings, desperate to know the outcome.
