Publisher's summary
Sandra Dallas, best-selling author of The Persian Pickle Club, weaves an intricate and sophisticated tale in New Mercies.
Nora Bondurant is divorced— unfathomable for a woman in 1933—and has inherited a house from a dead aunt she never even knew existed. But when she travels to Mississippi to claim her inheritance, she finds her eccentric neighbors would rather help her acquire a new husband than reveal the secrets surrounding her aunt’s death.As Nora becomes more and more enmeshed in the community and in her family’s history, she learns surprising things about the life and death of her aunt: kinship isn't always what it seems, loyalty can be as fierce as blood relations, and every day we are given new mercies to heal the pain of loss and love.

For the past twenty-five years, Margaret Atwood has written works of striking originality and imagination. In The Blind Assassin, she stretches the limits of her accomplishments as never before, creating a novel that is entertaining and profoundly serious. The novel opens with these simple, resonant words: "Ten days after the war ended, my sister drove a car off the bridge." They are spoken by Iris, whose terse account of her sister Laura's death in 1945 is followed by an inquest report proclaiming the death accidental.

In Paradise - her first novel since she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature - Toni Morrison gives us a bravura performance. As the book begins deep in Oklahoma early one morning in 1976, nine men from Ruby (pop. 360), in defense of "the one all-black town worth the pain", assault the nearby Convent and the women in it. From the town's ancestral origins in 1890 to the fateful day of the assault, Paradise tells the story of a people ever mindful of the relationship between their spectacular history and a void.

In 1920, in small-town America, the ubiquitous dry goods store was usually owned by Jews and often referred to as "the Jew store". That's how Stella Suberman's father's store, Bronson's Low-Priced Store, in Concordia, Tennessee, was known locally. The Bronsons were the first Jews to ever live in that tiny town of one main street, one bank, one drugstore, one picture show, one feed and seed, one hardware, one barber shop, one beauty parlor, one blacksmith, and many Christian churches.

Allan Gurganus's Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All became an instant classic upon its publication. Critics and fans alike fell in love with the voice of 99-year-old Confederate widow Lucy Marsden, one of the most entertaining and loquacious heroines in American literature. Lucy married at the turn of the 20th century, when she was 15 and her husband was 50. If Colonel William Marsden was a veteran of the "War for Southern Independence", Lucy became a "veteran of the veteran" with a unique perspective on Southern history and Southern manhood.

No one is more surprised than Mattie Spenser herself when Luke Spenser, considered the great catch of their small Iowa town, asks her to marry him. Less than a month later, they are off in a covered wagon to build a home on the Colorado frontier. Mattie's only company is a slightly mysterious husband and her private journal, where she records the joys and frustrations not just of frontier life, but also of a new marriage to a handsome, but distant stranger.

Powerful yet Heartwarming
What’s to dislike? This is the best Sandra Dallas book I have listened to so far. It was so riveting I couldn’t stop. I’m really sad it’s over. I hope I find another one that’s as good as this one. Persian pickle club was my favorite until I heard this. Hopefully there’s another favorite out there.

Satisfying and comforting
Sandra Dallas writes novels that bring the reader to another place and time. I don't think this novel has the depth of Tallgrass or Prayers for Sale but I can see how Dallas has continued to grow as an author and I like that. The story left me feeling content and intending to look for new mercies every day.

Amazing Story
The story seemed to wander for much of it …but I knew there had to be a solid story here due to past Sandra Dallas novels. I was shocked to hear the reveal closer to the end which I will not expose here due to potential readers not being aware of the complete details. This exact story was my life experience and within the first part of the book I did not see this coming. Although it gave me mixed feelings….it also helped me. The book now is very endearing to me as is Sandra Dallas who Never disappoints.

Charming
Sandra Dallas does it again. I loved this book and how the story unfolds. I felt like I had been transported in time. The colloquialisms were superb and really made me long for a slower time. Of course there are so many layers and nuance’s to that time. At times I just couldn’t help but chuckle.
I especially loved the narration l. Her voice was soothing & I enjoyed her ability to give voice to each character. She is definitely a very gifted.
I highly recommend this book.

Having family from the south, and me raised in Colorado, listening to the story was like coming to two homes. The humor is in the colloquial phrasings, while the plot deals with timeless serious life experiences. excellent work and narrator.

Another Sandra Dallas awesome story
I do love her stories so much. They are so touching and weave in the quilting and Scriptures so well. And once I start one I have to stay with till it’s over. New Mercies is brings a reminder of the Civil War woes and deliverance from slavery. Thank you for the perspective.

Good, but not her best...
We loved Sandra Dallas when we discovered her with Prayers for Sale. Then Tall Grass...both exceptional in our opinion. This one was okay...we liked the unfolding of the character's secrets...but they opened up so gradually we failed to feel the "grab" we felt in the other novels. But, worth listening to. It was harder to place this in the historic timeframe for me also...
