Book ID/图书代码： 11197515B84568
English Summary/英文概要： This unsettling dystopian novel is set thirty years in the future, in the wake of a third world war. One of only a few survivors, a former soldier nicknamed Mercy is haunted by lingering memories of his family. But when he travels into the wilderness with his brother Leo to look for his missing sons, the line between truth and lies becomes indistinguishable, and Mercy’s own moral code, destroyed by war, returns into play.
Set against a fantastical landscape, The Mercy Journals explores the parameters of personal morality and forgiveness.

Awards/获奖情况：“从第一段起，我就不能自拔地沉浸到了这个反乌托邦小说世界的最深处，那里很可怕，也很熟悉，让人毛骨悚然却也另你惊叹到最后一刻。小说围绕家庭、幸存、爱以及人性等主题展开；以及渴望、热情、占有即谋杀等话题。堪称一部杰作。”---吉米•李•柯蒂斯
“克劳迪娅•卡斯伯的《梅西日志》是一部有着绝妙视角的小说作品。有些像《蝇王》，也有点神似罗密欧•达莱尔作品《与魔鬼的握手》，读完本书我发现自己深深被书中的人物角色所触动，但也同时更加警觉。这部小说中隐含着一丝对未来的预告--警示着我们如果不加注意，我们将迎来怎样的结局。”---艾丝琳•亨特， 作家，著有The World Before Us
“From the opening paragraph I dove into the deep end of a dystopian world that was terrifying, familiar and thrilling and made me keep reading until the shocking end. The novel focuses on family and survival and love and human nature; hunger, passion, possession and murder. A masterpiece.” —Jamie Lee Curtis
“Claudia Casper’s The Mercy Journals is a book of extraordinary vision. Part Lord of the Flies, part Romeo Dallaire’s Shake Hands with the Devil, I came out of this book deeply touched by the characters who moved through it, but also more alert. There’s a sense of the prescient in this novel – of where we could end up if we’re not careful.” —Aislinn Hunter, author of The World Before Us
