5.0 out of 5 stars The Tree People are fascinating, May 31, 2000

Rebecca Brown "rebeccasreads" (Clallam Bay, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Tree People (Mass Market Paperback)

When brutal murders plague the placid Olympic Peninsula rainforest after a sacred cedar is cut down, Tribal Sheriff Tidewater must pit her own shamanic training against a mysterious killer. At about the time Columbus' ships were being built in the Old World, along the Pacific coast, lived an already ancient society, with perceptions, emotions & rituals so complex European languages could only hint. In this society, however, the same struggles between evil & good, shadow & light, revenge & courage raged on with the added dimensions of shape-shifting & time walking. An impressive first novel, fascinating, scary & delightful. A must read! Living by a rainforest I thoroughly enjoyed this author's skill at describing the land & the energy here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful insight into the people of the Northwest, October 7, 1999

Victoria J. McCurley (Tri-Cities, Washington) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Tree People (Mass Market Paperback)

I was totally intrigued by this book and couldn't wait to find her others. The story carries you through the cultures and traditions of the people of the Olympic Peninsula and teaches a reverence for our natural rescources. I loved the relationships within the family. I would love to have a reader's guide for discussion with my book club.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glorifingly real, brings you right to the vioce of her words, July 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Tree People (Mass Market Paperback)

She sends you into a real world with which characters actually seem to be living in the Pacific NorthWest as you read. The reader will grow an amazing hold on nature and Native American ritual never known to them before.
