Nyra and the girl pick autumn berries from a hedge-edge tangle nobody planted. The book takes the weight twice over — a figure for the day, a figure for the season — true as far as it goes. What it does not carry: the scratch along the wrist, the stain that will not wash, the one berry sweeter than the rest. Closing beat: “The bramble would hold the rest, the thorn and the sweetness and the long reaching, keeping in its tangle the whole of what the number could only point toward.”
