Mercy of Sisters

On her 50th birthday, Floss gathers her siblings and their partners for what should be a celebratory family afternoon. But after two decades spent caring for her elderly mother, she drops a bombshell: she’s leaving to reclaim a life of her own. What follows is anything but supportive. Old wounds reopen, loyalties are tested, and long-simmering tensions erupt into chaos.

Grace Bartle’s Mercy of Sisters is a sharp, darkly funny exploration of sibling rivalry, duty, and the lasting impact of intergenerational trauma—unfolding over one unforgettable, combustible family gathering.
