Why read it?
1 author picked The Berry Pickers as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A four-year old indigenous girl goes missing while her Nova Scotia migrant family picks blueberries in Maine. Her older brother by two years carries the weight of his failure to protect her, and his grief and shame write the story of his life. Everything about this book is wonderful. I was drawn deeply into it at once and became engrossed in the story, which travels through 50 years and ends with both sadness and joy. Read it. Great book club pick.
