BOOK OF THE MONTH


MONTH: January 2014
TITLE: The Storyteller
SERIES: N/A
AUTHOR: Jodi Picoult
GENRE: Historical Fiction
PAGES: 460
RELEASE DATE: February 26th, 2012
AVG RATING: 4.23 / 5.00 (38,289 votes)
DESCRIPTION:
Sage Singer befriends an old man who's particularly beloved in her community. Josef Weber is everyone's favorite retired teacher and Little League coach. They strike up a friendship at the bakery where Sage works. One day he asks Sage for a favor: to kill him. Shocked, Sage refuses…and then he confesses his darkest secret - he deserves to die, because he was a Nazi SS guard. Complicating the matter? Sage's grandmother is a Holocaust survivor.

What do you do when evil lives next door? Can someone who's committed a truly heinous act ever atone for it with subsequent good behavior? Should you offer forgiveness to someone if you aren't the party who was wronged? And most of all - if Sage even considers his request - is it murder, or justice?

I started this book today. I am not very far in and I'm already REALLY liking it. Maybe it's all the talk about bread. I'll have to make a loaf for our meeting :)
