Wishlist Wednesday #39

Wishlist Wednesday is a weekly post put on by Dani at the Pen to Paper blog. Where you post a book you really really want to read or one that has been on your wishlist! If you've seen my to-read list on Goodreads then you know there are plenty that I could use. So I decided to use this feature every Wednesday.



Title: The Storyteller
Author: Jodi Picoult
Release Date: February 26, 2013
Series Number: 1

 Goodreads Summary:

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?

 My Thoughts:
I love most Jodi Picoult's books. Not all of them but, most of them. This one sounds really interesting and I can't wait to read it. Her books are written so well and with such emotion. I absolutely loved 19 Minutes it was amazing. So I am looking forward to this one!
