The Healer by Antti Tuomainen

This was a book that seemed to feature despair.  It is a dystopian future where environmental impact is ruling the world.   The world is changing for the worse.  Tapani’s wife goes missing and his quest to find her is the focus of the book.

The frustration of Tapani’s search is almost felt palatably.  The author does a good job describing the feelings of the characters.   The plot has some plausibility without pontificating on the causes of the world’s problems.  

Radical environmentalists and crass opportunists populate the sub-characters.  The book flows but not rapidly.   It didn’t captivate me but it does provide some thought provoking situations.
