Ruth Jefferson is a labor and delivery nurse at a Connecticut hospital with more than twenty years’ experience. During her shift, Ruth begins a routine checkup on a newborn, only to be told a few minutes later that she’s been reassigned to another patient. The parents are white supremacists and don’t want Ruth, who is African American, to touch their child. The hospital complies with their request, but the next day, the baby goes into cardiac distress while Ruth is alone in the nursery. Does she obey orders or does she intervene?
Ruth hesitates before performing CPR and, as a result, is charged with a serious crime. Kennedy McQuarrie, a white public defender, takes her case but gives unexpected advice: Kennedy insists that mentioning race in the courtroom is not a winning strategy. Conflicted by Kennedy’s counsel, Ruth tries to keep life as normal as possible for her family—especially her teenage son—as the case becomes a media sensation. As the trial moves forward, Ruth and Kennedy must gain each other’s trust, and come to see that what they’ve been taught their whole lives about others—and themselves—might be wrong.
With incredible empathy, intelligence, and candor, Jodi Picoult tackles race, privilege, prejudice, justice, and compassion—and doesn’t offer easy answers. Small Great Things is a remarkable achievement from a writer at the top of her game.
與書無關:覺得種族歧視小題大做的人不必慶幸,它會以另一種方式發生在你身上,到時候你還不反抗?
評分刷新瞭我對種族歧視的認知,主動被動,有意識無意識都是傷害!PICOULT還是厲害!花瞭三個多月總算啃完瞭原著~
評分在Audible上聽完的第一本書,用一種比較巧妙的角度探討瞭種族問題,不會太沉重但又引人思考。這本書比較長,錄音版是16個多小時
評分小說的名字來自馬丁路德金的語錄 ”If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way." 作為在多民族,單種族背景下長大的我來說, 對“種族歧視”這個概念其實並不理解。小說從三個角度來講故事。以為刻苦努力就能得到平等美好生活的黑人護士Ruth;白人至上主義,失去兒子的Skinhead Turk; 作為Ruth的Public Defender 白人律師 Kennedy.
評分真的不想再讀黑白文化的書瞭,一點共鳴都沒有。。。
