  • "Recipient of the 1993 Nobel Prize in Literature, Toni Morrison is the Robert F. Goheen Professor of Humanities Emeritus at Princeton University, and author of the esteemed novels The Bluest Eye, Sula, Song of Solomon, Tar Baby, and Beloved. She has received the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize, among numerous other distinctions. Set in pre-revolutionary America, A Mercy is the story of a mother who casts her daughter into slavery with hopes of saving her, and of the daughter, who may never fully exorcise that abandonment. Veronica Chambers will interview Ms. Morrison"

  • "A powerful tragedy distilled into a jewel of a masterpiece by the Nobel Prize winning author of Beloved and, almost like a prelude to that story, set two centuries earlier. In the 1680s the slave trade was still in its infancy. In the Americas, virulent religious and class divisions, prejudice and oppression were rife, providing the fertile soil in which slavery and race hatred were planted and took root."@en
