A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Selected by Emma Watson as an Our Shared Shelf Book Club Pick

‘An astounding memoir in essays. Here is a wound. Here is need, naked and unapologetic. Here is a mountain woman, towering in words great and small ... What Mailhot has accomplished in this exquisite book is brilliance both raw and refined’  - Roxane Gay, author of Hunger 

‘A sledgehammer … A mixture of vulnerability and rage, sexual yearning and artistic ambition, swagger and self-mockery’- New York Times

"I am quietly reveling in the profundity of Mailhot’s deliberate transgression in Heart Berries and its perfect results. I love her suspicion of words. I have always been terrified and in awe of the power of words – but Mailhot does not let them silence her in Heart Berries. She finds the purest way to say what she needs to say... [T]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
