“The Healing Circle showcases Picard’s natural flair for crafting a novel of serious substance with a flair for humor in service to the human condition.” —Midwest Book Review
“The Healing Circle is a far-reaching, honest, and funny novel about dying and living, a kind of pilgrimage to wholeness through uncertainty and disorientation. Full of resonance, it asks what it means to heal, to be in pain, to be a person.” —Amina Cain, author of Indelicacy
“The Healing Circle is wry, subtle, and daring. Coco Picard has written a vivid novel about living, dying, and remembering.” —Meg Wolitzer, author of The Female Persuasion
