Jodi Picoult, autora de Por la vida de mi hermana , nos presenta su libro más fascinante, con una alarmante y conmovedora historia acerca de las repercusiones devastadoras de una tragedia en un pueblo pequeño de los Estado Unidos.
Sterling es un pueblo común en New Hampshire donde nunca ocurre nada -- hasta el día que su complacencia es hecha añicos por un acto de violencia. Josie Cormier, la hija de la jueza que preside el caso, es la mejor testigo con la que cuenta el estado, pero no puede recordar lo que ha ocurrido delante de sus propios ojos ¿o sí?
A medida que el juicio avanza, empiezan a hacerse visibles las grietas entre las autoridades del colegio secundario y la comunidad adulta del lugar -- destruyendo los lazos más fuertes de familia y amistad. Diecinueve minutos nos hace preguntarnos qué significa ser diferente en nuestra sociedad, quién tiene el derecho de juzgar a otro y si las personas son lo que realmente parecen ser.

Library Journal Review
Best seller Picoult (My Sister's Keeper) takes on another contemporary hot-button issue in this brilliantly told thriller about a high school shooting. Peter Houghton, an alienated teen who has been bullied for years by the popular crowd, brings weapons to his high school in Sterling, NH, one day and opens fire, killing ten people. Flashbacks reveal how bullying caused Peter to retreat into a world of violent computer games. Alex Cormier, the judge assigned to Peter's case, tries to maintain her objectivity as she struggles to understand her daughter, Josie, one of the surviving witnesses of the shooting. The author's insights into her characters' deep-seated emotions bring this ripped-from-the-headlines read chillingly alive. [PW 1/1/07; starred] (c) Copyright 2010.
