Why read it?
2 authors picked Heart Berries as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This beautiful little book of essays is a swift, emotional read.
The book explores the medicine of love and the power of taking back our voices as Indigenous women. It is also a refreshingly frank portrayal of trauma, mental illness, and the particular brand of misogyny that Indigenous women live under. I found so much hope and healing in Mailhot’s memoir that it has become one of a handful of books I reread annually.
From Cayla's list on the power of Indigenous stories, identity, and histories.
This slim volume of a memoir packs a punch in its sheer power, structure, and sentence-by-sentence craft. It is innovative, and it is a story this country needed. People talk a lot about the importance of “voice” in writing. Mailhot’s voice is searing; it lifts off the page and soars right into your soul.
From Cassandra's list on lyrical memoirs from the soul.
