Join Marcia Hutchinson to discuss this year’s most talked about debut novel – The Mercy Step.
A precocious Mercy makes her reluctant entrance into the world, torn from the warm embrace of her mother’s womb, to a chaotic household that seems to have no place for her. Left to herself, Mercy finds solace in books, her imagination, and the quiet comfort of her faithful toy, Dolly. But escapism has its limits, and as the grip of family, faith and fear threatens to close in, Mercy learns she must act if she wants a different future; one where she is seen and heard.
The Mercy Step is a sharply witted and tender portrait of a young girl’s quiet rebellion, and her refusal to be broken.
