![]() ![]() Overall I enjoyed this book more so than some of Sarah Jio’s previous books. I’m not sure that there is any deeper meaning in that other than almost all of her stories are set in Seattle which contains lots of large bodies of water. I couldn’t help but notice it was also the second story of hers that involved the attempted-drowning of a woman. This book has all the elements that we have come to know Sarah Jio for: the dueling narrative, the missing women, and the lost artifacts/papers that are discovered years later and offer clues to the mystery. ![]() They are from two completely different worlds and she believes that things would never work out between them. She catches the attention of one of the wealthiest men in the city, but worries that love is not enough to keep them together. Vera is a poor woman living on poverty and struggling to survive. Meanwhile in 1933, Daniel Ray’s story unfolds, along with his mother’s, Vera Ray. When Claire learns more about the disappearance of Daniel Ray, she can’t help but feel obligated to follow up on what happened to him and where he ended up. Blackberry Winter: A Novel by Sarah Jio is a duel narrative story about Claire Aldridge, a reporter who is researching a late-season snowstorm that occurs in Seattle, and the similar occurrence that happened eighty years ago in 1922, when a little boy went missing. ![]()
