Ever since I read The Tenth Circle, Jodi Picoult has been one of my favorite authors. Now, I have not managed to read every novel that she has written...and it is not very likely that I will put in much of an effort to track down her older novels...but I've enjoyed almost all of the novels that she ...
A story within a story, within a story. In The Storyteller, Jodi Picoult is telling the story of a traumatized, socially inept, woman named Sage Singer. Sage is a baker, preferring to work alone at night and having absolutely no contact with the human race, because of the loss she'd suffered. In...
This book is what I love about Jodi Picoult. I have read a large selection of her work, and I think this book by far is the best I have read yet.
