This is the second of the "Cree Black Series." Cree is a parapsychologist who deals in hauntings and supernatural occurences, a "ghostbuster" you could say. This adventure was about a young Navaho boy possessed by a spirit. Reading (listening to) this book gave me many insights into Native American culture and life. The role of the healer is not that much different than the role of a psychologist. It is also interesting because at the same time I was listening to this novel I was reading stories focusing on the caste system of India. Although the literary value of the two vary greatly, I begin to realize that class struggles are the same all around the world. The way the whites spoke of the Native Americans is the same as the way the Brahmins spoke of the lower castes. Although not a great literary work, I found this book interesting! aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Nothing in Cree's training as a Harvard-trained clinical psychologist or her experience as a paranormal investigator has prepared her for Tommy Keeday's case. A talented young Navajo, Tommy has recently been exhibiting bizarre symptoms that his family believes are signs of possession by a chindi, a hostile spirit. As Cree struggles to find answers, she becomes increasingly aware that Tommy and the people who surround him have some deep and disturbing secrets. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

There are times that there was a little too much time spent trying to legitimize Cree's vocation...it didn't take long to suspend disbelief and wasn't needed. On the other hand, it was logical to spend time showing similarities with Navajo ways of dealing with ghosts and evil presences. ( )
