Dennis Lehane, prolific author for both the page and the screen, returns with Small Mercies, a thriller set against the time of desegregation of public schools in Boston that balances one family’s struggle with the turmoil of the era. Lehane talked about his personal connection to the history of the novel, writing challenging and complex characters, creating his tv show “Blackbird” and more with Poured Over host, Miwa Messer. We end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and Jamie.

Reading it now and loving it.I’m from Massachusetts and lived in South Boston for a time. I remember the fervor surrounding the bussing issue. It was a very tense time.

Can't wait to read it! His "Mystic River" is unforgettable.

Another great book from him. Loved the shout-out to Richard Stark and the Parker novels.

I have been a Dennis Lehane through the word go when my aunt read his first novel. I pre-ordered my copy that is signed. I receive my copy today and can’t wait to open it right away and read. My aunt and I will be reading it at the same time. He never disappoints me.
