Über diesen Titel

The Mercies: A gripping tale of love, suspicion, and the strength of women in the face of adversity, inspired by real events.

1617. A vicious storm throws the sea around the remote Norwegian island of Vardø into chaos. Maren watches helplessly as the island's men, out fishing, perish in an instant. Vardø is now a place of women.

Eighteen months later, Absalom Cornet arrives, determined to bring the island's independent women to heel. Accompanying him is his young wife, Ursa. In Vardø, and in Maren, Ursa discovers something she's never encountered before: the strength and resilience of women left to forge their own path.

While Ursa finds unexpected happiness and even love in her new home, Absalom sees only a community corrupted by a terrible evil that he must root out at any cost.

The Mercies is a mesmerizing tale of love, fear, and the potential for both to transform a community. Kiran Millwood Hargrave weaves a rich tapestry of historical detail and poignant insights into the hearts of her unforgettable characters.

Perfect for fans of Circe and The Handmaid's Tale, this haunting and atmospheric novel will linger long after the final word.

A fabulous book, diving deep into the tragic and terrible history of witch trials in the north-eastern coastal region of Norway in the 1600s. What brings this book so strongly to life: the characters, especially the women of the village, left to cope and adapt after their men are taken by a massive storm. The descriptions of the sea, avoiding all cliché. The terrifying masculinity of the witch hunters masquerading as holy men. The beautiful connection between the two main characters. I never wanted this book to end, narrated so beautifully and tenderly. This is one I will be buying for my bookshelf and returning to again in the future.
