Mercy

by Joyce MacIver

Mercy Bassford knows nothing of the world of flesh, except for what her body instinctively tells her. Her fantasies of the sexual life would stun an older, experienced, person.The Great War is just ending and the nation is headed for the brutal, intoxicating Twenties.Mercy must see her way through a dozen hothouse summers and a dozen dazzling winters. She's trapped in the mysteries of growing up seductive and damned in the American South

[Aaron · Rating 2 out of 5]

When it was published, this book was probably red hot. Now, it's rather lukewarm, almost tepid.

[Mell · Rating 2 out of 5]

A terrible book read at a tween slumber party. It had sex scenes. What curious little 12 year old we were.
