In Picoult's latest work so far, Sage Singer, a tragically scarred atheist Jew meets Josef Weber and forms a special friendship with him. Soon she learns a startling secret about Josef which sets in motion a series of events. Sage also learns about an intertwined and sad past between Josef and her grandmother.
Sage's grandmother is a holocaust survivor and during parts of the novel you learn of her rough time in the concentration camps. Reading about the holocaust saddens me, so if you can't take the descriptive sorrows that this read might bring I'd advise not to read it.
