Book Review: Mercy by Rebecca Lim

“There’s no discernible pattern to the Carmes, the Lucys, the Susannahs that I have been and become. All I know is that they stretch back in an unbroken chain further that I can remember – I can sense them all there, standing one behind the other, jostling for my attention, struggling to tell me something about my condition.” (Page 30)

Mercy is the story of girl/ angel who has fallen; she has no memory of where she came from, she has no body of her own, and the only thing that she remembers are her physical features. Since she does not have her own body she is forced to dosomethingunnatural: inhabit other people’s bodies and sort of take over their lives. While she is the body of the stranger, that person has no idea what is going on, and, when they come back, have no recollection of what happened — in other words it is as if they are asleep. She has no control over what person she will inhabit next or for how long. The only thing that remains constant in Mercy’s shifting life is Luc. A guy/angel that appears in her dream, she loves him. Luc keeps telling her that she should find him but she does not know how to do that, or where to start.
