is simply one of the best around' Gillian FlynnNew York Times

gone.'In the summer of 1974 a heatwave blankets Boston and Mary Pat
Fennessey is trying to stay one step ahead of the bill collectors.
Mary Pat has lived her entire life in the housing projects of
'Southie', the Irish American enclave that stubbornly adheres to
old tradition and stands proudly apart.One night Mary Pat's teenage
daughter Jules stays out late and doesn't come home. That same
evening, a young Black man is found dead, struck by a subway train
under mysterious circumstances.The two events seem unconnected. But
Mary Pat, propelled by a desperate search for her missing daughter,
begins turning over stones best left untouched - asking questions
that bother Marty Butler, chieftain of the Irish mob, and the men
who work for him, men who don't take kindly to any threat to their
business.Set against the hot, tumultuous months when the city's
desegregation of its public schools exploded in violence, Small
Mercies is a superb thriller, a brutal depiction of criminality and
power, and an unflinching portrait of the dark heart of American
racism.
Úprimná spoveď matky – manželky, ktorú zlé rozhodnutia vženú priamo
do náruče odborníkov. Ako žena, matka a manželka si je vedomá
svojich chýb, ťarcha rozhodnutí je však oveľa silnejšia. Stráca
nielen svoju rodinu, ale aj to, čo jej bolo najbližšie. Svoje deti.

mužoch a deťoch, ktorým jediné rozhodnutie zmenilo život. V poradí
štrnásta kniha od obľúbenej Evity Urbaníkovej prináša príbeh, ktorý
je zasadený do prostredia rodiny a medziľudských vzťahov. Citát:
Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do
prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje,
môžeme sami.
