What is a narrative review?

I

Hello! So I've got my PhD and have got an interview for my first postdoc job. One of the criteria asks me to have knowledge of conducting narrative literature reviews. What is a narrative review?

I've tried researching it in the short space of time that I have. Are there 3 types of literature reviewing? Narrative, qualitative systematic and quantitative/meta analysis? Is a narrative review systematic?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Lang (2010) 'How to write, publish, and present in the Health Sciences' explains the difference between narrative and systematic reviews on page 16. It's available via Google Scholar.
