Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“I don’t usually blurb friends, but Joseph’s book is so great I have to break my rules. Buy this book; read this book. You will love it.”  —Sherman Alexie, New York Times best selling author
“Joseph Boyden’s novel is, simply, beautiful: you will lose yourself in the richness of its prose and the ever-deepening puzzles it inveigles you into. Through Black Spruce is fluent, involving fiction, and as good an advertisement as any for unforgiving wilderness living.”  —Times (London)
“Alternating between life at its most elemental and most decadent, Boyden’s tale skilfully reflects the Indians’ struggle to embrace modern society. —Mail (London)
“It is a powerful novel of place and the ties that bind families…A fine achievement, Through Black Spruce is extraordinary.”  —Irish Examiner
