The Stevensons find themselves upended by a horse -- a magnificent horse that sets off a chain of deceit and crime. This powerful novel reveals the fragility of life when tested by the shock of genuine passion."--Ben Fountain, author of BILLY LYNN'S LONG HALFTIME WALK "MERCURY explores that thrilling, terrifying moment when grief turns blind, when passion becomes obsession. As always, Livesey tells her tale masterfully, with intelligence, tenderness and a shrewd understanding of all our mercurial human impulses."--Lily King, author of EUPHORIA "MERCURY is a haunting, meticulous inquiry into the nature of blindness-its insidious power to corrupt marital trust, even between those with perfect vision. Margot Livesey is a searingly intelligent writer at the height of her powers."--Jennifer Egan, author of A VISIT FROM THE GOON SQUAD "MERCURY is as luminous, unforgettable, and perfectly rendered as only Margot Livesey can accomplish. I only wished it were twice as long."--Dennis Lehane, author of WORLD GONE BY "No one plumbs the depths of ordinary human folly and its consequences like the brilliantly perceptive Margot Livesey. Be prepared: MERCURY will take you on quite a ride."--Julia Glass, author of AND THE DARK SACRED NIGHT "Step by step, Livesey brilliantly assembles a truly painful and frightening picture of delusion.... I cannot in good conscience reveal more of the plot. I came to this story in a state of innocence, and I feel that its terrific power depended in great part on the gradual unfolding of unlooked-for events."--Katherine A. Powers, Barnes and Noble review "The mid-life crisis takes many forms, some familiar, some wildly unexpected. Livesey, in her riveting novel MERCURY, portrays a couple in their season of crisis. Patiently, precisely, she unfolds the layers of their drama, at once quiet and extreme. She'll make you wonder how well you know your spouse."--Claire Messud, author of THE WOMAN UPSTAIRS "You'll be glued to the page."--People, Pick of the Week "Thrilling."--Helen T. Verongos, St. Louis Post-Dispatch "This remarkable, powerful novel takes its title from a horse: a beautiful, dapple-gray thoroughbred that becomes the object of obsession and the pivotal point of author Margot Livesey's richly complex story."--Melinda Bargreen, The Seattle Times "The inimitable Margot Livesey has written an unforgettable story of a couple in the midst of their marriage's dissolution. No one has a better understanding of human nature."--Lit Hub "Multi-layered domestic dramas are Margot Livesey's specialty. In Mercury, she again probes contradictions in human relationships, this time orbiting the often perilous abyss of middle age and casting her gaze on matters of perception in both literal and figurative terms."--Shelf Awareness "Margot Livesey should be better known.... [She] writes as well as anyone and is clearly steeped in the literary canon.... She's a patient builder of complex characters who are often brought face to face with uncomfortable truths about themselves."--Mark Kamine, Wall Street Journal "Livesey's story of loyalty, deceit, ambition, and moral ambiguity is a read-in-one-sitting, sublimely nuanced psychological exploration of personal ethics and responsibility ideal for book-discussion groups."--Carol Haggas, Booklist "Livesey's prose has a brusque sensuality. It reads lucid and forthright and lean.... Livesey roots tension not just in the bones but the very marrow of the book."--Leah Hager Cohen, Boston Globe "Livesey knows her way around human desire and disappointment. Like the recent blockbusters GONES GIRL and FATES AND FURIES, MERCURY gives us a marriage from alternating perspectives. Unlike those books, there is no looming gimmick or twist. The parties in
