An atmospheric story of the precarious relationship between a mysterious folk healer and the skeptical biologist investigating the method behind her miraculous cures.
There are two prospects for a man who becomes too curious about a Lagori woman...death or madness. Ethan Broughton might just discover a third destination.
In 1935, Dr. Leland Broughton was rescued from a morbid snake bite in East Tennessee by the sudden appearance of a ghostly woman possessed of a powerful antivenom. In 1996, Lelands grandson, Dr. Ethan Broughton, agreed to investigate a potent medicinal plant and a rumor of curative miracles on Porringer Hi9ll in East Tennessee. What he found was an isolated community of disturbing superstition centered on one woman, Ana Lagori, a local apthecary with a mysterious ability to heal all wounds.
This is the story of that most fateful encounter.

I loved this book. It is hypnotic, enthralling, magical and spell binding. A unique and engrossing tale, written in an almost old fashioned style. This is good writing, where the author uses the English language beautifully to evoke mystery, romance and the supernatural in a mainly narrative piece of work. Colours, textures and emotions are brought richly to life in this tale. A big thumbs up from me, and I'm not easily pleased!
In this eccentric tale set in a small town in northern India, Pawan Mishra masterfully weaves ingenuity and sarcasm in a manner that’s simultaneously hilarious and tragic.
