The Healers

De: Ken Levine

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Are there those among us who possess the power to heal? Are they hiding in plain sight? In Ken Levine’s fourth novel The Healers, readers are taken on a multi-generational journey that follows Frances Anderson and her granddaughter Glynnis as they come to terms with their extraordinary abilities and the impact they have on those around them. This rich and poignant saga tracks the Anderson clan from homesteads in Wyoming to the magical coast of Oregon as they navigate through some seventy years of familial strife, loss, heartache, and love.

From Publishers Weekly's Booklife:

Levine (The Widow Verses) delivers an eloquent family saga, bursting with multigenerational mysteries and pulsing revelations...Readers will relate to his artfully drawn characters, including Glynnis's grieving mother, whose choices only seem to amplify her heartache, and Glynnis herself-thoughtful, introspective, and surprisingly docile given what's bubbling under the surface. The story's ending hints at the profound impact of one's history, and the deeper message that extraordinary gifts often come with a painful cost won't be lost on readers.

Loved the ease of the Natural Healing abilities!!

I like each story….reading it got a bit confusing with the number of generations w/o an easy way to manage them. Not sure what could have been different, it just got very jumbled in the complexity. The TITLES didn’t work well for me….

Made me think

Stars: 3.5

The book is more four stars than three; however, the swearing prevents me from gifting or recommending unapologetically. Therefore three stars is my rating.

I liked the storytelling. I was invested. When I wasn't reading, I found myself thinking about the story and what would I do in their places.

I found The Healers thought-provoking.
