The best books make you see differently. This is one of them. The eye-opening new novel from Jodi Picoult, with the biggest of themes: birth, death, and responsibility.

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.

Back Cover Copy

[first stripe] Ruth is a nurse who lives in a good neighbourhood, with a son of whom she could not be more proud. Kennedy is a lawyer who prides herself on the work she does with disadvantaged minorities. Turk is a man who believes in the ultimate supremacy of the white race – devastated by the tragic death of his newborn son.[second stripe] As a grieving father cries for justice, the hospital seeks a scapegoat: and Ruth could lose everything she has worked so hard to build.[third stripe]There is a fire raging, and we have two choices: we can turn our backs, or we can try to fight it. Yes, talking about racism is hard to do, and yes, we stumble over the words – but we who are white need to have this discussion among ourselves. Because then, even more of us will overhear, and – I hope – the conversation will spread.Author's Note[fourth stripe]'This is a writer who understands her characters inside and out.'Roxane Gay, NYT
