#87 Small Great Things

Small Great Things
By Jodi Picoult

A really interesting and well written novel by a master storyteller.

Exploring the themes of racism against people of colour and white supremacy, this novel tells the story of Ruth, a black labour and delivery nurse who is falsely accused of killing a newborn baby by his white supremacist parents. Ruth is defended by Kennedy, her white lawyer, in a court case that raises the causes of black against white.

A well written, provocative, easy to read novel.

Rating: 4.5/5
Recommendation: Yes.
