One of the few books I feel compelled to review. Ms. Silko gives us a well written and well painted portrait of young Tayo, who has returned from World War II, profoundly out of balance in his life and in the world in which he lives.

He has tried western medicine, "native" medicine, and nothing is helping. It is in his expansion of the healing ceremony to encompass his whole world that he finally begins moving toward healing.
