A review by kate_303
Mercy Hill: A Novel by Hannah Thurman

4.5

Denise and her three older sisters live with their parents on the grounds of the mental hospital run by their mother, Dr. Cross. A rather feminist upbringing their mother is determined they will have her last name, be top of their class, go to medical school, and come back and watch at the hospital with her. But, as the girls get older, and the hospital becomes more rundown, plans go awry. A story of individuals and how they come together as a family. While reading this novel, you follow the protagonist, the youngest of the four sisters, throughout her life, and get to see her come to terms with life and the people around her as she grows up.

I recommend this novel to those who enjoy family sagas, coming of age stories, mental health themes, and emotional stories with a happy ending. 

Thank you to NetGalley for an eARC of this novel.
