Toni Morrison’s latest novel, A Mercy, is stunningly brief when compared to her powerful Beloved and her more esoteric Paradise (couldn’t get through that one myself….) Focusing once again on slavery and its far-reaching effects, this story follows the lives of several women, all under the ‘protection’ of one man – a good man but frail. It raises questions about friendship, love, family, loyalty, and humanity. Not an easy story but Morrison’s writing is beautiful, heart-wrenching, and so carefully crafted.
