The Berry Pickers is a soft-spoken, impactful novel about what loss can do to a family, about identity, and about those who never lose hope. The alternating perspectives weave together the experiences of two people who deal with loss, guilt, grief, and family over the span of 50 years. It’s slow at times, but it reads as though being told directly to you by the characters, which is perfectly fitting for the story. An excellent debut.
