It was a short, okay read. I loved the eerie atmosphere and the idea of how they heal their patients. The book mentioned that they open up the patient's body and fix the internal organs. How I don't know. Sometimes they sing the illness away, sometimes they bury the patient in the Ground to absorb the sickness.
On how the daughter came to be, her father combined plants and planted her during a thunderstorm. She doesn't have a sexual organ so when she took a liking to a boy and started to want intimacy, she literally grew her own genitals. They do not need to eat and they age slowly. Oh, and her father can transform into a bear. How cool is that?
All in all, this book is an engaging, almost hypnotic read.
