<b>A <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER</b><b>Winner of the Whiting Award for Non-Fiction </b><b>Selected by Emma Watson as an Our Shared Shelf Book Club Pick</b><b>'I loved it' Kate Tempest</b><b>'Astounding' Roxane Gay</b><b>'A sledgehammer' <i>New York Times</i></b><i>Heart Berries</i> is a powerful, poetic memoir of a woman's coming of age on an Indian Reservation in the Pacific Northwest. Having survived a profoundly dysfunctional upbringing only to find herself hospitalised and facing a dual diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder and bipolar II disorder, Terese Marie Mailhot is given a notebook and begins to write her way out of trauma. The triumphant result is <i>Heart Berries</i>, a memorial for Mailhot's mother, a social worker and activist who had a thing for prisoners; a story of reconciliation with her father - an abusive drunk and a brilliant artist - who was murdered under mysterious circumstances; and an elegy on how difficult it is to love someone while dragging the long shadows of shame. Memory isn't exact, but melded to imagination. In <i>Heart Berries</i>, Mailhot discovers her own true voice, seizes control of her story, and, in so doing, re-establishes her connection to her family, to her people, and to her place in the world.
