the gentle rain from heaven

A Mercy
Toni Morrison

My latest review has just been posted at Pajiba, and this time I've tackled A Mercy, the latest novel by Toni Morrison, which many are calling a precursor of sorts to Beloved.

A Mercy is far from an easy read, and it's not the most cheerful of works, either. In fact, if it weren't for the final chapter, my opinion would probably be a lot more negative.

In a nutshell: Far from uplifting, but definitely haunting; A Mercy will stick with you long after you've finished.

Bibliolatry Scale: 5 out of 6 stars
