Mercury by Amy Jo Burns
5.0
Mercury is a beautifully written family saga that follows the members of the Joseph family in the small town of Mercury, Pennsylvania... At least that's what the synopsis leads you to believe. In reality, this beautifully written novel is about two fiercely protective women and the sacrifices they make in the name of family.
I was blown away by the complexity of this novel and just how beautiful the words on the page were. Amy Jo Burns is a beautiful writer and she captured the individual qualities of each character so well that it was impossible not to love, and hate, each of them.
This is a story about people who want to make an impression on the world and work every day to do that in the only ways they know how. It's a story about love and sacrifice. A story that personifies the human experience of balancing your own wants and needs with the needs and wants of others. And it's about loyalty.
