A review by richardpierce
Islands of Mercy by Rose Tremain

4.0

I think this is a wonderful book, wonderfully written, and with the ending it deserves. As always, my reaction is visceral and comes from the emotions the writing and its narrative evoke in me. The sort of book you need during these never-ending storms, the sort of book that speaks of the reality and hardness of living, and of the goodness to be found there.
