Reseñas de la Crítica

"Not for the squeamish reader, this is a powerful novel that takes a new angle on a popular subject, 'the war to end all wars'." (Amazon.com review)

“Friendship is riven with resentment and war is stripped of glory in this remarkable, wrenching novel, the work of a gifted storyteller.” ( Publishers Weekly)

A fantastic read/listen!

A well told story, if a bit violent in parts. The friendship between two brothers of Indian descent amidst the turmoil of WWI

Orenda

Orenda is still my favorite but Joseph Boyden captured the time and freed the spirit here.

A bridge between worlds

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The Anishinaabe perspective of WWI and the continuation of the world they came from to the world they experienced was a powerful lesson in how our culture and ancestry creates the world we live in.

Phenomenal

This book should be a film! All Canadian's should read this book. A thrilling, thoughtful and insightful look into a past that has had rippling effects throughout the generations.
