Présentation de l'éditeur The brilliantly thought-provoking NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER from Jodi Picoult, author of PICTURE PERFECT and MERCY. One beautiful March morning, a student goes to school with guns instead of books, and starts shooting. Ten people are killed, and the local town is left reeling. In the search for justice and explanations which follows, the daughter of the judge sitting on the case is the state's best witness - but she can't remember what happened in front of her own eyes. Or can she? Revue de presse Superb, many-stranded and grimly topical . . . Picoult binds together precarious alliances with sensitivity, giving depth to characters without losing pace. Inhabited by contradictory, flawed individuals, this intelligent novel draws suspense, moral complexity and a stunning final twist out of what initially seemed a monochrome situation ( The Times) A horrifying, close to real-life read, this novel is incredibly thought-provoking ( Sun) A gripping and chilling read, NINETEEN MINUTES is reminiscent of Arthur Miller's play The Crucible in the way it captures the claustrophobic atmosphere of small town America, where members of a community struggle to cope with their grief and shortcoming in a world they hardly recognize anymore ( Daily Express) Slick, emotive and as readable as ever ( Daily Mail) Biographie de l'auteur Jodi Picoult is the author of twenty-one internationally bestselling novels, including My Sister's Keeper, House Rules and The Storyteller, and has also co-written two YA books with her daughter Samantha van Leer, Between the Lines and Off the Page.
