Small Great Things

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.

• No book could be more timely in its message than Small Great Things . . . The story prodded me to take a good, hard look at my own biases and preconceptions

  Metro

• The book makes for a harrowing and at times heartbreaking read but is absolutely brilliant. It deserves to be read by everyone

  Sun

• 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.

  Booklist, starred review

  Washington Post

• 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.
