Aye Write: Universality and Alive in the Merciful Country: Natasha Brown and A L Kennedy with Gabriella Bennett

About Aye Write: Universality and Alive in the Merciful Country: Natasha Brown and A L Kennedy with Gabriella Bennett

A timely work from the winner of the Costa Prize and twice Granta-selected ‘Best of Young British Novelists’, Alive in the Merciful Country is a searing portrayal of trauma, police abuse, and the power of hope and kindness.

Discover how Kennedy took the bleak and unforgiving backdrop of Brexit and Covid lockdowns and delivered a twisty, heart-racing page-turner, balancing her customary humour with a pointed critique of politics and our social ills.

“Kennedy is a force of nature.” (The New York Times)
