»Ein atemberaubendes Debüt über Liebe, Ethnie, Brutalität und den Balsam der Vergebung.« People Juli 1962. Eine Mi'kmaq-Familie aus Nova Scotia kommt in Maine an, um den Sommer über Blaubeeren zu pflücken. Einige Wochen später ist die vierjährige Ruthie verschwunden. Sie wird zuletzt von ihrem sechsjährigen Bruder Joe gesehen, als sie auf ihrem Lieblingsstein am Rande eines Beerenfeldes sitzt. Ihr Verschwinden wirft Rätsel auf, die Joe und seine Familie verfolgen und fast 50 Jahre lang ungelöst bleiben. In Maine wächst ein Mädchen namens Norma als Einzelkind in einer wohlhabenden Familie auf. Ihr Vater ist emotional distanziert, ihre Mutter erdrückend überfürsorglich. Norma wird oft von wiederkehrenden Träumen geplagt. Mit zunehmendem Alter ahnt sie, dass ihre Eltern ihr etwas verheimlichen. Da sie nicht bereit ist, von ihrem Gefühl abzulassen, wird sie Jahrzehnte damit verbringen, dieses Geheimnis zu lüften. »Beeren pflücken« ist eine berührende Geschichte über ungebrochene Hoffnung, unerschütterliche Liebe und die Kraft der Familie – selbst im Angesicht von Trauer und Verrat. Der Nr. 1 Bestseller aus Kanada

"U julu 1962. porodica Indijanaca stiže u Mejn da bere borovnice. Nekoliko nedelja kasnije četvorogodišnja Ruti, najmlađe dete u porodici, misteriozno nestaje. Njen šestogodišnji brat Džo poslednji ju je video kako sedi na kamenu u dnu polja, i ta slika će ga proganjati godinama. U Mejnu odrasta devojčica po imenu Norma, jedino dete u imućnoj porodici. Njen otac je emocionalno distanciran, a majka previše zaštitnički nastrojena. Normu često uznemiravaju snovi i vizije koje više liče na sećanja nego na maštu. S vremenom shvata da njeni roditelji kriju nešto od nje. Ne odustajući od svoje intuicije, provešće decenije pokušavajući da pronikne u porodičnu tajnu. Dirljiv i pun nade, roman Berači borovnica snažna je priča o stradanju jedne porodice i nepopravljivoj šteti koja joj je naneta."--back cover.

One family's deepest pain. Another family's darkest secret. On a hot day in 1960s Maine, six-year-old Joe watches his little sister Ruthie, sitting on her favourite rock at the edge of the blueberry fields, while their family, Mi'kmaq people from Nova Scotia, pick fruit. That afternoon, Ruthie vanishes without a trace. As the last person to see her, Joe will be forever haunted by grief, guilt, and the agony of imagining how his life could have been. In an affluent suburb nearby, Norma is growing up as the only child of unhappy parents. She is smart, precocious, and bursting with questions she isn't allowed to ask - questions about her missing baby photos; questions about her dark skin; questions about the strange, vivid dreams of campfires and warm embraces that return night after night. Norma senses there are things her parents aren't telling her, but it will take decades to unravel the secrets they have kept buried since she was a little girl. The Berry Pickers is an exquisitely moving story of unrelenting hope, unwavering love, and the power of family - even in the face of grief and betrayal.
