NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The acclaimed Nobel Prize winner reveals what lies beneath the surface of slavery. But at its heart, like Beloved , it is the story of a mother and a daughter—a mother who casts off her daughter in order to save her, and a daughter who may never exorcise that abandonment. One of the New York Times ’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century “Spellbinding. . . . Dazzling. . . . [ A Mercy ] stands alongside Beloved as a unique triumph.” — The Washington Post Book World In the 1680s
