Blackberry winter
Jio, Sarah
Adult Fiction JIO
From Publishers' Weekly:
Claire Aldridge is a reporter for the Seattle Herald coping with an emotionally detached husband and the grief of a recent miscarriage. When she awakes one May morning to find Seattle blanketed in snow, she begins to write a piece about the weather phenomenon known as a blackberry winter. Claire soon unearths the story of Vera Ray, a woman whose three-year-old son went missing in a similar snowstorm on the same day nearly 80 years before, in 1933. As Claire digs deeper, she discovers that she and Vera share ties to the wealthy Kensington family, who may be pulling strings and obfuscating Claire's research in an effort to stop her from uncovering the dark secrets that bind her to Vera. Jio's newest (after The Bungalow) is a fascinating exploration of love, loss, scandal, and redemption. While astute readers will likely surmise the nature of Claire and Vera's connection long before the big reveal, the proceedings are nevertheless engaging, with Claire and Vera enticing protagonists.
