The women in an Arctic village must survive a sinister threat after all the men are wiped out by a catastrophic storm in this 'gripping novel inspired by a reallife witch hunt. . . . Beautiful and chilling' (Madeline Miller, bestselling author of Circe).When the women take over, is it sorcery or power?Finnmark, Norway, 1617. Twentyyearold Maren Magnusdatter stands on the craggy coast, watching the skies break into a sudden and reckless storm. All forty of the villages men were at sea, including Marens father and brother, and all forty are drowned in the otherworldly disaster.For the women left behind, survival means defying the strict rules of the island. They fish, hunt, and butcher reindeerwhich they never did while the men were alive. But the foundation of this new feminine frontier begins to crack with the arrival of Absalom Cornet, a man sent from Scotland to root out alleged witchcraft. Cornet brings with him the threat of dangerand a pretty, young Norwegian wife named Ursa.As Maren and Ursa are drawn to one another in ways that surprise them both, the island begins to close in on them, with Absalom's iron rule threatening Vard's very existence.'The Mercies has a pull as sure as the tide. It totally swept me away to Vard, where grief struck islanders stand tall in the shadow of religious persecution and witch burnings. It's a beautifully intimate story of friendship, love and hope. A haunting ode to selfreliant and quietly defiant women.' (Douglas Stuart, Booker Prize winning author of Shuggie Bain)
