Mercy of a Rude Stream marks the astonishing return of Henry Roth, sixty years after the publication of his classic novel Call it Sleep . A book of time, memory, and desire, this new novel is set in the New York of World War I: a colorful vibrant, carelessly brutal city where an immigrant boy, Ira Stigmanm is coming of age. Like Joyce's Stephen Dedalus, Ira begins to discover the genius and the burden of his imagination, as he takes his first tentative steps toward adulthood. A contempoary of the great modernist writers, Roth is being rediscovered by a new generation of readers.

Twenty-first-century London draws in thousands of immigrants, filling the spaces unwanted by the legitimate majority - invisible, untraceable and powerless. So a murdered girl, fished from Hampstead Ponds one morning, could be anyone... Here is Job, driving mini-cabs illegally, his wife lives in Zimbabwe; Ian, the supply teacher, a South African exile; New Yorker Katie, jilted, and impoverished; and fifteen-year-old Ukrainian Anna, trafficked into sexual slavery. And Polly Noble, an immigrant lawyer, the descendant of Jewish refugees, knows how easy it is to fall through the cracks. Yet when her au pair, Irene, disappears, Polly hardly imagines that her own needs and beliefs have dragged her family into a world of danger, deceit and terror, which will threaten not only her home, but London itself.
