SUMMARY: Another brilliant, original and moving novel from the author ofThe Time Traveler's Wife. Julia and Valentina Poole are normal American teenagers normal, at least, for identical "mirror" twins who have no interest in college or jobs or possibly anything outside their cozy suburban home. But everything changes when they receive notice that an aunt whom they didn't know existed has died and left them her amazing flat in a building by Highgate Cemetery in London. They feel that at last their own lives can begin ... but they have no idea that they've been summoned into a tangle of fraying lives, from the OCD-suffering crossword setter who lives above them to their aunt's mysterious and elusive lover who lives below them, and even to their aunt herself, who never got over her estrangement from the mother of the girls her own twin and who can't even seem to quite leave her flat.... From the Hardcover edition.

Ils imposent les mains, soufflent « le froid », manipulent les corps, soignent par les plantes ou murmurent des formules secrètes. Ils soulagent souvent, et guérissent parfois « miraculeusement » des malades que la médecine officielle doit parfois abandonner à leur sort. Guérisseurs, rebouteux, magnétiseurs, barreurs de feu, faiseurs de secrets… À la ville, comme à la campagne, tout le monde pourrait avoir, à leur sujet, une anecdote à raconter. Pourtant, ces thérapeutes, qui suscitent à la fois méfiance et curiosité, restent la source de bien des interrogations. A partir de nombreux témoignages, recherches et avis d'experts et de médecins, Le mystère des guérisseurs signe une enquête extraordinaire à la frontière des médecines.
