"Luminous and magical, fraught with suspense, beautifully and
subtly rendered--a feat of prose divination." Joyce Carol
Oates

| 內容簡介： |
Walking a lonely forested valley on a spring morning in
upstate New York, having been hired by a developer to dowse the
land, Cassandra Brooks comes upon the shocking vision of a young
girl hanged from a tree. When she returns with authorities to the
site, the body has vanished, leaving in question Cassandra’s
credibility if not her sanity. The next day, on a return visit with
the sheriff to have another look, a dazed, mute missing girl
emerges from the woods, alive and the very picture of Cassandra’s
hanged girl.
What follows is the narrative of ever-deepening and increasingly
bizarre divinations that will lead this gifted young woman, the
struggling single mother of twin boys, hurtling toward a past she’d
long since thought was behind her. The Diviner’s Tale is at once a
journey of self-discovery and an unorthodox murder mystery, a tale
of the fantastic and a family chronicle told by an otherwise
ordinary woman.
When Cassandra’s dark forebodings take on tangible form, she is
forced to confront a life spiraling out of control. And soon she is
locked in a mortal chess match with a real-life killer who has
haunted her since before she can remember.
