Jodi Picoult Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

Ein fesselnder Roman über zwei unvergessliche Frauen, die vier Jahrhunderte trennen und dennoch um dieselbe Sache kämpfen: dass ihre Stimmen gehört werden. England im frühen 17. Jahrhundert: Emilia Bassano liebt das Schreiben, doch als Frau hat sie keine eigene Stimme. Nur für einen hohen Preis kann sie ihre Geschichten heimlich auf die Bühne bringen: Sie muss einen Mann finden, der sich als Autor ihrer Werke ausgibt. Und dieser ist niemand anders als Englands berühmtester Dramatiker: William Shakespeare. New York in der Gegenwart: Melina Green ist fest entschlossen, ihr Theaterstück zu veröffentlichen, inspiriert vom Leben ihrer Vorfahrin Emilia Bassano. Auch vierhundert Jahre später wird die Stimme einer Frau immer noch nicht so gehört wie die eines Mannes. Doch wie weit kann Melina gehen, um ihren Traum zu verwirklichen? »Jodi Picoult ist einzigartig! Ihre Romane berühren das Herz und erweitern den Verstand.« Emily Henry

"By Any Other Name" intertwines the stories of Melina Green, a modern playwright, and her Elizabethan ancestor Emilia Bassano, who secretly authors plays under Shakespeare's name. Both women navigate the challenges of a male-dominated theater world, showcasing their ambition and courage to ensure their voices are heard.

Eine Reise auf die Galapagosinseln. Eine Welt, die aus den Fugen gerät. Und eine junge Frau, die vor ihrer größten Herausforderung steht. Die New Yorkerin Diana O'Toole überlässt nichts dem Schicksal, ganz besonders nicht ihre Zukunft. Bis ins kleinste Detail hat sie ihr Leben durchgeplant und der nächste große Schritt steht kurz bevor: Auf der gemeinsamen Reise zu den Galapagosinseln wird ihr Freund Finn ihr einen Antrag machen. Doch kurz vor der Abreise bricht in der Stadt ein Virus aus und Finn wird als Arzt in seinem Krankenhaus gebraucht. Widerstrebend bricht Diana allein auf und findet eine Insel im Ausnahmezustand. Inmitten dieser Situation, die niemand wirklich einschätzen kann, gerät Diana immer mehr an ihre Grenzen – all die Pläne, die sie so sorgfältig geschmiedet hat, haben plötzlich keinen Wert mehr. Doch wie schafft man es, in einer Welt, die sich von einem Tag auf den anderen verändert hat, dem eigenen Kompass zu vertrauen? »›Ich wünschte, du wärst hier‹ ist ein Buch, das nachwirkt, nie reißerisch oder voyeuristisch und trotz aller Unangestrengtheit auch nie platt.« WDR3 Kultur

Olivia McAfeeová vie, aký je to pocit začínať úplne odznova. Jej dokonalý život sa rozpadol na kúsky, keď jej manžel odhalil svoju temnejšiu stránku a prejavil sa ako agresívny tyran. Ani vo sne by jej však nenapadlo, že skončí späť v ospalom rodnom meste v New Hampshire, bude bývať v dome, v ktorom vyrastala, a s láskou sa venovať včelárstvu, ktoré zdedila po svojom otcovi. Jedného dňa sa do New Hampshire presťahuje transrodové dievča Lily Campanellová aj s mamou. Obe dúfajú, že to bude pre ne nový začiatok. A práve tieto nové začiatky sú presne tým, čo Olivia a Lily potrebujú. Ich cesty sa prepletú, keď sa Oliviin syn Asher zaľúbi do Lily. Tá sa po prvý raz s niekým cíti naozaj šťastná. Občas má však pochybnosti, či mu môže úplne dôverovať. Žiadne šťastie však netrvá večne a Oliviu z ničoho nič omráči telefonát s odkazom: „Lily je mŕtva a Ashera vypočúva polícia.“ Je presvedčená, že jej syn je nevinný. No klamala by, keby si nepriznala, že v ňom občas vidí záblesky otcovej agresívnej povahy. Zamotaný prípad sa vyvíja proti nemu a ona si uvedomuje, že syn pred ňou skrýva oveľa viac, ako jej v skutočnosti povedal.

Ruth Jeffersonová je sestrička na pôrodníckom a novorodeneckom oddelení v Connecticute s viac než dvadsaťročnou praxou. Počas jednej z jej zmien sa stretne s rodičmi, ktorí si neželajú, aby sa ich dieťaťa dotýkala Afroameričanka. Nemocnica ich požiadavku akceptuje, no o deň neskôr, keď je Ruth pri dieťati sama, sa mu zastaví srdce. Musí sa rozhodnúť, či poslúchnuť nadriadených alebo zasiahnuť. Po krátkom zaváhaní je obvinená z ťažkého zločinu. Jej prípad preberá belošská obhajkyňa Kennedy McQuarriová, ktorá jej radí, aby na procese nezdôrazňovala rasu, čo Ruth prekvapí. Napriek tomu sa snaží viesť normálny život, aby jej rodina, najmä syn, nepocítila dopady mediálnej pozornosti. Ruth a Kennedy musia vybudovať vzájomnú dôveru a prehodnotiť to, čo sa celý život učili o sebe a ostatných.

Dielo predstavuje pozoruhodný výsledok autorčiny tvrdej práce a čoskoro sa dočká aj filmového spracovania.
