When I heard that Deborah Steinmair, Afrikaans author, and Sara-Jayne King, journalist and CapeTalk broadcaster, would be conducting an interview with Jodi over Skype during this year’s Toyota US Woordfees, I jumped at the opportunity to attend. I started buying them one at a time, at first cautiously dipping my toe into the murky waters of ethics and morality, and returning soon afterwards to buy all of the remaining Picoult books in the store. Most South Africans will know her as the author of My sister’s keeper, a novel that was brought to the big screen in 2009.Ī few years ago, a selection of her novels were reprinted, and I first discovered them in a big wooden box in a local bookshop. If you enjoy fiction in which morality is questioned and opposing views on problematic topics are presented in such a way that you start to question your own beliefs and opinions, you might be familiar with the work of American author Jodi Picoult.
