Finished reading this book last week and I am going to meet the author on Monday
I have read many, I think all now, of his other works... but oh I loved reading this story.
It takes place in WWI and follows the journey past and present of two young Cree men who join the Canadian troops to fight over seas. The character development and method by which the author weaves into and out of the different histories of the characters is bar none. He is so unequivocally skilled at this that it makes me want to never write anything again, because I could never achieve what he has. But aside from that, there are so many layers of interest and plot line and lives lived woven into this tale, that it was hard to put down but also hard to read all at once. It was definitely a book I savoured and would highly recommend to others.
