THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR
‘An emotional and compelling tale’ Sun


After a tragic accident which left her deeply scarred, Sage Singer retreated into herself, allowing her guilt to govern her life. When she befriends kindly retired teacher Josef, it seems that life has finally offered her a chance of healing.

But the gentle man Sage thinks she knows is in fact hiding a terrible secret. Josef was an SS officer during the Holocaust and now he wishes to die – and he wants Sage to help him.

As Josef begins to reveal his past to her, Sage is horrified.

Does this past give her the right to kill him? A compelling tale about the line between justice and mercy from the internationally bestselling author Jodi Picoult.

MAD HONEY, the stunning and compelling Sunday Times bestseller by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan is available now.

Reviews

The first person accounts about what happened in the Holocaust are absolutely harrowing . . . there are descriptive passages that make you catch your breath
Sunday Express
A beautifully woven story . . . the humour and characters wrap themselves around you, daring you to stop reading
My Weekly
Simply stunning

I will start by saying that it is very difficult for me to review this book - I often find it difficult to review my favourite books as I find it hard to truly express how much I enjoyed them. From the first page, I knew that THE STORYTELLER would become one of my all time favourites. Jodi Picoult is definitely a favourite author of mine, yet she still manages to blow me away every single time I pick up one of her books. This one was no different

Never has a work of fiction seemed so realistic to me, all of the different stories magnificently intertwined to create a book which is truly on a new level. There are certain books that leave you bereft knowing that there is no more story to tell and this is one of them.
Amy, Waterstones
Beautifully written, compelling fiction. I couldn't put it down. I'm now bereft!
Ros, Burway Books, Shropshire
Picoult back to her best . . . hard to put down. This book lingers with you after you've finished . . . It has compassion, anger, and a small touch of happily ever after that doesn't destroy the realism of the main events. If you can stomach a story based in the horrors of Nazi concentration camps then read THE STORYTELLER. It's worth the time you'll spend lost in its pages.
Sarah Talbot, bookseller
Impossible to put down . . . This is a story that not only pulls at your heart strings but thrusts you into a world of fantasy and monsters, in the most real sense
Katy, Waterstones Chatham
I've read most of Jodi Picoult's novels and this has to be one of the best.
Emma, Bedford Waterstones
A very humanist affirmation of the power of stories to allow people to move forward, even if they should never forget
The Lady
Themes of guilt, forgiveness and justice predominate and are sharpened by the belief that forgiveness can only be asked for, and given, by those who have been harmed
WI Life
Never afraid of the big themes, Picoult's book is all about guilt, redemption and being true to oneself
Choice magazine
The tone is sombre, but this meticulously researched novel is well worth the effort
Woman
