The Quality of Mercy by Barry Unsworth.. Sacred Hunger author’s long awaited sequel features familiar characters in this powerhouse of an historical novel. A moral force, Unsworth. Fine reading. – Joel Gardner, LitSnap Editor |

"Unsworth's writing is as rich and authoritative as ever, his eye for the period detail as judicious." – The Guardian "It’s been a long time coming – 19 years in fact – but Unsworth’s sequel to the Booker Prize-winning Sacred Hunger is better late than never. Coming from one of our most eminent historical novelists, it makes both a satisfying addendum and a successful stand-alone novel." – The Telegraph |
