A review by laura_corsi
Heart Berries by Terese Marie Mailhot

This book was difficult to read both because it is emotionally wrenching and because the writing is difficult. Beautiful but difficult like Terese Mailhot describes herself in her memoir. Written as a letter to her lover from a psychiatric hospital, this memoir jumps backward and forward in time leaving the reader feeling as unmoored as the patient. I think, perhaps, this book is meant to be read as poetry with no beginning and no end. Just endlessly looping.
