Set in 1600s Norway and based on true events in which ordinary people were persecuted as witches, The Mercies is a spellbinding and richly told story that kept me captivated to the very last word.

Quotes by Carla Buckley

“Easy enough to fight when the monster kept its distance, easy enough to draw the line. But when the moster was literally outside the door, that's when your actions mattered. The hard choice wasn't opening the door. The hard choice was keeping it closed.”
― Carla Buckley, The Things That Keep Us Here

“...The lies we tell, and let ourselves believe, in the name of love.

The first thing you should know is that everyone lies. The second thing is that it matters.”

“The first time you hold your baby and see she's all right, you breathe a sigh of relief. You think you've crossed the finish line. You don't realize that the race had just begun.”
