Sage Singer is a baker by trade and a loner by choice. Haunted by her mother’s death and past mistakes, she finds solace in the quiet rhythms of bread and grief. Then Josef Weber walks into her bakery—a kind old man from her support group—and offers her unexpected friendship.
But Josef is hiding a dark, unthinkable secret. One that ties him to a chapter of history Sage never imagined she’d confront. When he asks her for a favor that challenges everything she believes about justice, family, and forgiveness, Sage is forced to face not only his past—but her own.
In The Storyteller, Jodi Picoult crafts a powerful, morally complex tale of guilt, identity, and redemption that asks: Can we ever truly forgive the unforgivable?
