National BestsellerOne of The New York Times 10 Best Books of the Year In the 1680s the slave trade in the Americas is still in its infancy. Jacob Vaark is an Anglo-Dutch trader and adventurer, with a small holding in the harsh North. Despite his distaste for dealing in “flesh,” he takes a small slave girl in part payment for a bad debt from a plantation owner in Catholic Maryland. This is Florens, who can read and write and might be useful on his farm. Rejected by her mother, Florens looks for love, first from Lina, an older servant woman at her new master's house, and later from the handsome blacksmith, an African, never enslaved, who comes riding into their lives. A Mercy reveals what lies beneath the surface of slavery. But at its heart, like Beloved , it is the ambivalent, disturbing story of a mother and a daughter-a mother who casts off her daughter in order to save her, and a daughter who may never exorcise that abandonment.

入門很慢,前幾章的pov非常confusing,中段很棒,從鐵匠迴來開始泄氣,最後Willard和Scully那章簡直多餘,視角反復切換似乎隻為瞭把故事補全,倒顯得笨拙。

評分哎呀,很失望。這部作品無論從情節還是文字,都缺乏張力。大量描寫,除瞭讓人昏昏欲睡,並不能很好地引起人的情感。看得我茫茫然,看完不知道說瞭啥。
