An evening with Marcia Hutchinson - The Mercy Step

Bradford, December 1962. Mercy finds solace in books, her imagination, and the quiet comfort of her faithful toy, Dolly. But escapism has its limits, and as the grip of family, faith and fear threatens to close in, Mercy learns she must act if she wants a different future; one where she is seen, heard, and her family set free

The Mercy Step is a sharply-witted and tender portrait of a young girls quiet rebellion, and her refusal to be broken.

Named one of the best New Novelists for 2025 by The Observer, Marcia will be reading from and discussing her novel The Mercy Step as well as answering questions and signing copies.

The event starts at 7PM on Thurs 30th October and will be held in person at the shop and online via Zoom.

Tickets are £5. Attendees in person will receive a free drink - wine, tea or coffee and ALL attendees will be eligible for 10% off all books in the shop or online.
