The astoundingly beautiful depth to the Blackberry Bush takes you into places so deep you can scarcely catch your breath and there in that depth, you breathe. Like the tip of an iceberg, you sense it is the beginning of something much greater.
Moving through the lives of the characters you can easily find yourself; recognizing your part, your place or someone you know, there is a familiarity that resonates. That thing you can't place your finger on begins to touch you.
As Kati pours over the beloved watches with Opa, she says that they lose track of time as they wind them and hold them up to their ears to hear the ticking. So moves the novel. Losing track of time, you read along with an internal comforting tick that moves you along. Even while looking back you find you are still moving forward waiting to hear the next tick that you know is there.
This is a book that is so rich with imagery, meaning, depth, and faith. There are treasures of hope for the hopeless and a Way even in the darkest place. The Blackberry Bush opens the doors and shines a light for you to begin finding your own treasures that have been there all along.
