Mercy Among the Children by David Adams Richards
Joint winner (with Michael Ondaajte's Anil's Ghost) of the Giller Prize, Mercy Among the Children is reckoned by many to be the finest Canadian novel of 2000. The novel tells the story of Sydney Henderson and his son Lyle. As a young man, Sydney, believing he has accidentally killed a friend, makes a pact with God, promising never to harm another if the boy's life is spared. In the years that follow the almost pathologically gentle Sydney holds true to his promise - at terrible cost to himself and his family.
David Adams Richards was born in 1950. He has won many awards for his novels and is one of only three writers ever to have won both the fiction and non-fiction categories of the Governor General's Award. He lives in Toronto.
