Title : The Path of Souls - Joseph Boyden - book
Summary :
Northern Ontario. Niska, an elderly Cree woman, waits on a train platform for the return of a soldier who survived the war. However, the man getting off the train is not Elijah, but her nephew Xavier, whom she believed to be missing, or rather his sick and unrecognizable shadow. For three days, aboard the canoe taking them home, Xavier, between life and death, plunges back into the dark waters of his past. In 1914, Xavier and Elijah, his best friend, enlisted in the Canadian army, both certain of experiencing the adventure of a lifetime. But on the French battlefields, hell awaited them... Through the shattered destinies of these two characters, Joseph Boyden evokes, in this remarkable first novel, the horror of war with rare power. Heartbreaking and gripping, The Way of Souls is also a reflection on our own humanity and what threatens it.
