When a newborn baby dies after a routine hospital procedure, there is no doubt about who will be held responsible: the nurse who had been banned from looking after him by his father.

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.

Reviews

Booklist, starred review
[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.
Independent on THE STORYTELLER
As harrowing as it is readable
Financial Times
It's hard to exaggerate how well Picoult writes
Metro
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
Sunday Telegraph
She is the master of her craft . . . and humanity is what Picoult does best
Washington Post
The most important novel Jodi Picoult has ever written
Woman & Home 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.

*****, Sun
The book makes for a harrowing and at times heartbreaking read but is absolutely brilliant. It deserves to be read by everyone
Independent
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.
Woman & Home
A thought-provoking and unputdownable novel about race and prejudice that shows Picoult at her very best.
(from the author's afterword)
There is a fire raging, and we have two choices: we can turn our backs, or we can try to fight it
