Abstract

Toni Morrison's ninth novel, A Mercy, distributed in 2008, is an invite re-visitation of the amazing rhythms of her best work after her disillusioning last novel, Love. It is set during the 1690s, in the slave time, when it was risky to be without the "security" of a man, free ladies were as yet associated with being witches and paternalistic relations among people were as yet the standard.
