Opis

Set in America in the 1680s, 'A Mercy' reveals what lies under the surface of slavery. At its heart, this is the ambivalent, disturbing story of a mother and a daughter - a mother who cuts off her daughter, to save her, and a daughter who may never exorcise that abandonment.

Recenzje

Toni Morrison makes me believe in God. She makes me believe in a divine being, because luck and genetics don't seem to come close to explaining her Guardian
