Description
A tale of mystery and healing from the Canadian forests, where Nature can be nasty and men can easily go mad.We're in the Canadian uplands, a landscape of lakes and forests, cabins and canoes, hunters and hunted.
The Healer is a young teenage girl with a gift she finds hard to bear: she seems able to heal the sick, to drive out foul spirits.
Her father is a brutal man: strong, tempestuous and violent, he finds it hard to accommodate his daughter's abilities in the way she would wish.
A journalist, our principal narrator, comes between them, sent by his magazine to secure a story.Entranced by the girl and the emptiness of the land, he buys from a persuasive realtor the derelict lakeside cabin which becomes the centre of the action, as all three main characters swirl into a vortex of vengeance and violence - violence reflected in a landscape of storms and floods of terrifying power.
Hollingshead proves himself a writer who knows the lethal force latent in the natural world. And that man is an animal too.
