Reviews

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)*

The most important novel Jodi Picoult has ever written
*Washington Post*

A thought-provoking and unputdownable novel about race and prejudice that shows Picoult at her very best.
*Woman & Home*

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.
