A review by culuriel
A Mercy by Toni Morrison

4.0

Toni Morrison returns to her true talent, creating impelling stories from personal relationships filled with the tension created by human power relationships. I enjoyed this immensely and kind of blew through it. It is both intimately detailed and yet not detailed enough. I have a feeling that some events Prof. Morrison summarizes couldn't have been told as a plot point. It was also not always clear which character was narrating. Sometimes this really got in the way of understanding what was going on. But still a lip-smackingly satisfying novel by [b:Toni Morrison|6149|Beloved|Toni Morrison|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165555299s/6149.jpg|736076].
