![]() ![]() ![]() I read this in one sitting, drawn into a memoir unlike any other I’ve read before. Mailhot’s writing is heart wrenching and poetic, delicately illustrating the most difficult times in her life with both lightness and gravity. : This book is as beautiful as it is brutal. Named One of the Most Anticipated Books of 2018 by: he writing is so good it’s hard not to temporarily be distracted from the content or narrative by its brilliance.Perhaps, because this author so generously allows us to be her witness, we are somehow able to see ourselves more clearly and become better witnesses to ourselves." ― Emma Watson, Official March/April selection for Our Shared Shelf She finds the purest way to say what she needs to say. I have always been terrified and in awe of the power of words – but Mailhot does not let them silence her in Heart Berries. "I am quietly reveling in the profundity of Mailhot’s deliberate transgression in Heart Berries and its perfect results. ‘A sledgehammer … A mixture of vulnerability and rage, sexual yearning and artistic ambition, swagger and self-mockery’- New York Times What Mailhot has accomplished in this exquisite book is brilliance both raw and refined’ - Roxane Gay, author of Hunger Here is a mountain woman, towering in words great and small.
