A Time To Heal
Once again New York Times bestselling author Marcia Rose displays her dazzling talent for getting inside the hearts and minds of women and laying bare the truths that unite them throughout time. Sweeping through three centuries and six generations of women, pulsing with drama and passion, here is an epic novel of women gifted with the extraordinary power to heal.
A TIME TO HEAL
In the beginning, there's White Bird, daughter of a Pequot healer, forced to flee to the banks of the Connecticut River after the massacre of her tribe. There, White Bird instructs her daughter, Annis, in the art and power of healing, a gift that Annis then passes down to Morgan Wellburn, her child by a white man. Following her own destiny, Morgan is led to Dr. Grace Chapman--one of the few female physicians in the country--and later to bustling Brooklyn at the turn of the century, where her skills as a midwife and champion of the poor will lead her to her ultimate dream. . . .
Through generations of love and loss, heartache and passion, Morgan's own daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter will be challenged and changed by their remarkable, inherited gift in this unforgettable novel of women who dare to fight for their right to heal--and for their hearts. . . .

Am Anfang war es sehr spannend, doch dann war es gefühlt immer das gleiche. Hatte ab 300 Seiten keine Lust mehr und hat auch nicht so viel mit Schamaninnen zu tun.

Buch mit super spannendem geschichtlichen Hintergrund. Jedoch hat es sich leider ein bisschen gezogen - daher auch nur die 3 Sterne.

Die Handlung zieht sich durch viele Jahre und Generationen und es war interessant, die Geschichte immer wieder aus anderen Blickwinkel zu sehen.
Rose's Sätze erreichen den Leser meist ohne Schnörkel, direkt und ungeschminkt. Sie gleitet nicht ins Kitschige oder Triviale ab und lässt ihre Heldinnen mit Konventionen und Etiketten aufräumen.
Eine unterhaltsame und flüssig geschriebene Familiensaga. Trotzdem hätte ich gerne noch mehr von den alten indigenen Generationen gelesen und dort einen grösseren Fokus gehabt.
