Thoughts on this book??

While reading The Storyteller, I did not discover anything about the Holocaust that I did not already know – it is not meant to serve as a history lesson – but it’s the first time I’ve gotten close to thinking about what it would be like to experience Nazi cruelty first-hand. And it was the first time I thought about what Nazis themselves saw, felt and believed. It is brilliantly told and wonderfully wraps together, while still doing justice to its characters – and the real people who suffered. It’s a revealing yet unforgiving story, moving between present life as Sage struggles with what Josef has asked her to do, and Minka’s torturous story of life as a young Jewish girl under the Nazi regime!!

This is my favorite Jodi Picoult book! I love the different perspectives and she does a wonderful job showing the effects of the events decades, and even generations, later. I hope you all enjoy it and i am looking forward to reading this discussion!
