by Jodi Picoult

Hello everyone ;) For this month my review will be about a book that I received as a surprise gift for a giveaway on which I choose the book The Colour Purple. The girl was so nice to gift me also another book, which happened to be this one above :)

I'm going to do a review of Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult. I had really no expectations because I didn't know the writer before and never heard of the book either. As soon as I read the plot though, I was already intrigued.

The book surprised me for good. I like the topic of racism but I was never so into modern novels. Still haven't found so many to actually like. But this one was amazing, and I didn't expect it. 

The main character, Ruth, is a nurse that lose her jobs because of Naziskin Turk, whose newborn baby died of suffocation. The blame was, of course, set on Ruth, because she was the last one that tried to make the kid breathe again, even if she was not supposed to because the parents of the baby didn't want any African-American to touch or get close to them and their baby. 

The book is the experience of a brave woman that tries to get back her job and get justice through the help of the advocate Kennedy.

The part I've found most interesting, though, is that you have different points of views. You have the chapters through Ruth's pov, or Turk and even the lawyer Kennedy. 

That's what intrigued me the most, because you could see all their thoughts and different aspects of everyone's life that were leading to the same goal, to have justice. 

So it's totally recommended if you like modern novels, a bit of medical and legal terms too and racism topics.
