My Reviews
I usually enjoy Jodi Piccoults novels; they are generally well written and well researched and tackle both sides of an issue. I was, however, not sure that I wanted to read a holocaust story by this author. I am so glad I did. The characters come to life and make you care about then. Piccoult ponders how good and evil can reside in each of us and how we control our demons. She explores punishment and forgiveness and finding a way to continue. Piccoult asks each of us to question our complacency in light of post-holocaust genocide. The Storyteller is a novel you will continue to analyze long after you turn the final page.
Jodi Picoult does not shy away from difficult issues. Race in America is timely and possibly the most challenging issue this author has tackled. White privilege and being black in America are handled with grace. The characters are compelling. This is a book that will make you question yourself and should not only be read, but discussed.
