Islands of Mercy by Rose Tremain

5.0

4.5 stars rounded up. A thrilling book that I just stayed up past midnight reading. I loved the vibrant characters and vivid images of Bath, Dublin, Borneo and County Clare. Some characters evolved in a way that wasn’t quite believable, or made decisions that stretched plausibility, but perhaps that was part of the purpose of the book - different understandings of what really makes and drives a person.
