Mercy Street
by Jennifer Haigh
Thank you to Libro.fm and the publisher for an audio ARC of this title.
This was the first book by Jennifer Haigh that I have read, and I look forward to reading more! Not all of the characters are likable, but I suspect that is part of the point. Seeing the different perspectives through each character’s eyes and experiences, and learning why they hold the beliefs and opinions they do is a powerful thing. Haigh did an excellent job developing the various characters, as well as highlighting some major issues in society, including abortion, poverty, race, religion. While the book wasn’t what I was expecting, I enjoyed reading it.
