Small Mercies
by Dennis Lehane
☆ Shortlisted for the 2024 CWA Gold Dagger
Small Mercies by Dennis Lehane is the heart-breaking story of Mary Pat Fennessy, a tough 42-year-old from Southie in Boston. The book is set in 1974, after a Massachusetts court ruled that Boston’s public schools should integrate segregated communities through busing, and violence broke out. Lehane’s writing makes you feel like you’re there, experiencing that hot summer half a century ago, as Mary Pat searches for her missing daughter.
