"The problem with the story is that Harlan is telling it. As a narrator, she is not as articulate, introspective or revealing as readers might wish her to be--or as we know Jones to be. The novelist has created an intriguing plot and a well-written portrait of a remarkable character, but we only get to see Harlan--and all the others--through her own limited vision....Still, 'The Healing' marks the long-awaited return...of a major literary talent..., an important, graceful writer who deserves readers' attention."Jones, Gayl is the author of 'Healing', published 1999 under ISBN 9780807063255 and ISBN 0807063258.
