This novel is far from my usual 'genre' but I found it to be captivating. Particularly liked the story within the story and the associated allegories.

The Storyteller

Three stories in one, Picoult has combined fact, fiction, and fantasy to weave a story of love and hate coupled with kindness and cruelty. Sage, plagued by a facial scar that represents her feelings of guilt, finds herself pitted against a character in "sheep's clothing" whose crimes reach decades back to the Holocaust. As the novel unfolds, each character tells his own story in first person narration, weaving gripping a tapestry of human experience from which we all can learn. Picoult never ceases to amaze me with her imagination. This one and Leaving Time are my favorites thus far.

Another Excellent Jodi Picoult Novel!

Excellent Narration brought this story to life and makes you feel like you are in the moment. You will catch yourself smiling, grinding your teeth in anger, making faces of disgust, but most importantly you will ponder the meaning of love,compassion and forgiveness. I highly recommend this book. 5 stars all the way.

Best Book Ever!

I ran across Jodi Picoult awhile back and have slowly making my way through all her books. It is taking a really long time cause I keep coming back to this story. From start to finish you are captivated by the characters. The mixing of the grandmothers past during the Holocaust and the tragedies of the granddaughters present combine to create a story that is worth listening to over and over again. I have shared this book with everyone I know and now everyone is addicted!

I loved this book.

I'm addicted to audio books and this is one of the best I've listened to. It made me think about the holocaust and the survivors in a much more personal way.
