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.
多视角讲述方式没毛病 可是总是重复讲述而不推进情节就有点受不了了……最后的closing argument超级燃!
评分职业道德和种族歧视掺杂在一起,很精彩的设定。最后结尾有些戏剧性有些简单了。歧视无处不在,主动的和被动的,不相信歧视会消失,只要能克制就算胜利了
评分We don't need equality, instead we need equity. Perfect timing for 我司最近的那篇关于女性的讨论以及美国最近的白人至上。在中国这种单一文化背景下长大的,并不会多为这种问题而忧虑。但是我觉得华人应该更加政治敏感一些。
评分看不见不代表不存在,看不见却潜藏在内心,看不见只因为那是政治正确的对待方法,可惜也只有真正承认看见才能面对两者的差异,直面这个世界存在着的不公平。
评分故事写的还是很引人入胜的 美国这个国家实在是有点fucked up
