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.

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.

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.

Amazing Story

This is a unique story line that addresses issues of the day without being heavy or devolving to cliched romanticism.

Wonderful lack of cheesy romance

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.

Satisfying and comforting

A subtle story of twist and turns, but very calming and relaxing to read, but also interested in every chapter definitely learned a lot about the south and southern women

A must read

Typical Sandra Dallas story. Just had to keep going to see what would happen. Loved the last chapter which rounded up the story but left much to the imagination, Great Read

Couldn't put it down

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.

Charming

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.

Southern & Mountain Ways

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.

Another Sandra Dallas awesome story
