«Mercy Street» is the novel by Jennifer Haigh, published by Gallmeister in hardcover (432 pages, in French).
The novel offers a reflection on what makes a person a person: memory, recollections and everything lived, set against a life not yet formed. The text contrasts the value attributed to a fetus with that of the woman carrying it, whose individual ideas, needs and desires are erased.
The French edition came out in 2023 with a translation by Janique Jouin-de Laurens; the original English work was published in 2022. «Mercy Street» received the Mark Twain American Voice in Literature Award.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction and book clubs interested in novels with a feminist perspective.
