Reviews for Playing Mercy
A mighty and moving hymn to belonging, pride and growth. Passionately-convicted work from a man writing from within his own culture, without sentimentality. Read this if you are ever host to the demon of judgementalism; Matt Scott loves his characters and the world that produced them, and the rest of us should too. Niall Griffiths
