Simon Brown takes us on an intimate journey inside the body and soul of Adam Saunders, the Healer.

Simon G. Brown’s The Healer will captivate readers by introducing them to a circle of characters whose lives are transformed by their experiences with healing. Its compelling storytelling manages to combine several kinds of tale and in this respect it’s more than just a great novel. The fictional form allows the author to present the history and philosophy of the healing movement in a peculiarly intimate way, with an alternately raw and sensitive mix of emotional and spiritual reflections. Focused around the autobiographical meditations of its central character, The Healer at once tells a love story, a story of growth and transformation, a story about the writing of the story itself, and in the process gives lucid accounts of the philosophy of the healing movement, as well as the practical and emotional pitfalls, false moves and painful revelations it faces at every step of its journey. ~ John William Phillips, Associate Professor at the National University of Singapore and author of Contested Knowledge: A Guide to Critical Theory
