Mercy Among the Children

Mercy Among the Children by David Adams Richards, published in hardcover by Doubleday Canada in 2000. This is the first Canadian edition, second printing, identified by the publisher number line ending in 2. It includes the original dust jacket and distinctive deckle-edged pages.

Flat signed by David Adams Richards in blue ink on the title page, directly above his printed name. No personalization or inscription is visible. Richards’ novel examines poverty, injustice, nonviolence, family loyalty, and moral responsibility through the story of a persecuted New Brunswick family.

Mercy Among the Children was a co-winner of the 2000 Giller Prize, sharing the award with Michael Ondaatje’s Anil’s Ghost. Its literary recognition and the author’s signature make this an appealing copy for collectors of Canadian literature and award-winning fiction.

Very Good overall, as assessed by the seller. The dust jacket is protected in a removable clear plastic cover, and the photographed jacket panels present well without major visible damage. Please review the supplied photographs for the appearance of this specific copy.
