Everyone that knows me, knows that I have a love/hate relationship with Toni Morrison. Her books are so rich and have the ability to emotionally drain the reader at its end, but they are a HARD read!
I picked up A Mercy, honestly, to test my gangsta. I was pleasantly surprised. A Mercy follows the complex yet close relationships of a slave master, his wife, and the women who served them in slave or indentured servants in the 1600s. I connected with each character and was able to follow the story line easily.
I have been imploring everyone to pick up a copy. I am thinking about reading it again at Summer's end....that is if summer ever starts.
