Heart Berries
by Terese Marie Mailhot
Critically acclaimed and (seemingly) instant bestseller, Heart Berries is a circling memoir that dances throughout Mailhot’s upbringing on a Native American reservation, her experiences of trauma, abuse and mental illness, and her complex familial relationships. While so much of the writing is transcendently poetic, the effect of reading Heart Berries is akin to gravity — it pulls you down, down, down to the very soil of the ground, down to the roots of human nature in all its beauty and ugly brokenness. It’s a quick read, but it will sit heavily in your gut afterward. I recommend reading it like poetry, seeking to make meaning between the lines.
