In the 1680s the slave trade was still in its infancy. In the Americas, virulent religious and class divisions, prejudice and oppression were rife, providing the fertile soil in which slavery and race hatred were planted and took root. Jacob is an Anglo-Dutch trader and adventurer, with a small holding in the harsh north. Despite his distaste for dealing in “flesh,” he takes a small slave girl in part payment for a bad debt from a plantation owner in Catholic Maryland. This is Florens, “with the hands of a slave and the feet of a Portuguese lady.” Florens looks for love, first from Lina, an older servant woman at her new master’s house, but later from a handsome blacksmith, an African, never enslaved. There are other voices: Lina, whose tribe was decimated by smallpox; their mistress, Rebekka, herself a victim of religious intolerance back in England; Sorrow, a strange girl who’s spent her early years at sea; and finally the devastating voice of Florens’ mother. These are all men and women inventing themselves in the wilderness. A Mercy reveals what lies beneath the surface of slavery. But at its heart it is the ambivalent, disturbing story of a mother who casts off her daughter in order to save her, and of a daughter who may never exorcise that abandonment. Acts of mercy may have unforeseen consequences. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Overwhelming and Beautiful Let me preface this by saying that this is the first work of Toni Morrison's that I have read. Now I know that it will not be my last. It's nearing 3 AM where I am now, and I have just finished this overwhelming novel. I will make every effort to convey my thoughts coherently enough to do justice to this wonderful book. I of course knew that Ms. Morrison's legacy as a giant of American literature included a history of notoriously difficult prose, and so I approached this novel with ... Read More Rating: - Mercy, Mercy ME I am astounded by this woman's genius but I have to say the last few years she's slacked off (Love, Paradise). I like A MERCY but not with the passionate urgency I usually rip through a Morrison masterpiece. So far on my Kindle, I've not been riveted. That is until this afteroon. This afternoon I started reading the very poetic memoir by Osama Bin laden's ex mistress Kola Boof (Diary of a Lost Girl) and it's so good I had to make myself take a break so I wouldn't ... Read More Rating: - Simply Epic, Simply Morrison Five years after he last novel Love, Morrison returns to spin her magic in the novel A Mercy which only proves to be worth the wait. If you can keep up, that is. The story opens up with a "confession" from the protagonist, a 16-year-old slave girl named Florens, with hands of a slave and feet of a Portuguese lady. She warns of a bloody story to be told as the reader muddles through what is admittedly a difficult narrator to follow. But Florens's present-tense stream of consciousness is easily ... Read More Rating: - Please, this is unreadable, a struggle... Expecting a masterpiece from such an esteemed writer, I tried three different starts, each time trying to comprehend what I was reading and had such difficulty doing so that it seems not worth the effort. Yes, it can be read and diagrams visually drawn to sort out the different characters and dialects but it should not be that difficult and it is. What a waste of money. I will be donating it and hopefully someone with greater literary appreciation than myself will find it. Go with Wally Lambs' "The Hour ... Read More Rating: - Superb as all Toni Morrison literature... As always, Toni Morrison left me wanting to know more about what eventually happens to each character! Although each woman was very different, she managed to illustrate how strong they were, in their own unique way.
