Marcia Hutchinson’s debut novel The Mercy Step has been making waves since its release in July. The book introduces us to Mercy, a young girl growing up in 1960s Bradford, navigating family tensions, faith, and the search for belonging with wit, resilience, and quiet rebellion.
Following multiple well-received events and conversations with readers, Hutchinson is taking The Mercy Step on tour this October. Audiences can look forward to readings, lively discussions about her creative journey, and reflections on the themes of identity, migration, and resilience that run through the novel.
