About this listen

Exploring the complexities of race relations in modern times, Jodi Picoult challenges us with ideas about justice, empathy and free will. Written with a raw honesty, this audiobook delves into deeply emotional issues about birth and death with an emotional fix that will stay with you long after the last words are spoken.

The new audiobook from number one best-selling author 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.

Critic reviews

"It's hard to exaggerate how well Picoult writes." ( Financial Times)

This book made me reassess my reaction to racism. I thought it was well researched and, of course, extremely well written by Ms Picoult. My Mum and I always exchanged Jodi Picoult's books and discussed them. Mum passed away last year and it's my first book without her but she would have loved it.

brilliant book.

This book kept me engaged from beginning to end. Very well written with some stand out prose. I was not sure about the author, as a white woman, writing about the experience of black men and women. However on balance as Picoult says it is better to have this conversation than not. Thought provoking and gripping.

A good listen

Like most of her books it has left me questioning my own behaviours towards others. Very well written I am recommending it highly. The narratives were excellent.
