Mercy focuses on Mercy Newton aka Mercy Milner and takes place in the 1800's, a time when moving up classes in society was a dream and women were subjected to acceptable physical abuses. The title and description drew me to this book but the character and her decisions kept me interested. Mercy lives a tough life where money and general comforts are hard to come by and her relationships are strained. This book was an interesting read but not a page turner, I enjoyed reading it slowly over a weeks time.

I will review this book on goodreads once the book is added. Thank you netgalley and cranthorpe millner publishers for this ARC>
