Dennis Lehane is a masterful storyteller whose books have been adapted into major Hollywood movies, and his latest novel, Small Mercies, promises to be another page-turner. Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous desegregation of Boston’s public schools in the summer of 1974, Small Mercies tells the story of Mary Pat Fennessy, a struggling mother from the Irish American enclave of Southie, who finds herself embroiled in a dangerous search for her missing daughter.
Lehane’s novels have a reputation for being gritty and uncompromising, and Small Mercies is no exception. The book has been praised by none other than Stephen King as “thought-provoking, engaging, enraging, and can’t-put-it-down entertainment.” Fans of Lehane’s previous work, such as Mystic River and Shutter Island, will likely find much to appreciate in this latest offering.
