Lovable characters endure WWI, with moments of joy

This is a beautiful story about a young man and his aunt preserving their way of life, becoming spiritual leaders and facing the hardships of their time. Xavier and his best friend Aliza join the Canadian Army in the Great War. As you'd expect, there are horrifying moments, but also moments of victory and joy. The characters are so likable, you'll be engaged the while book.

And the narrators give a gold performance. Both the aunt and Xavier are narrated by talented people. Amazing job.

average English class read

it was enjoyable but bland at some points and made it hard to follow when the narrator kept switching.

Would make a good movie

I read this novel as part of my Native Studies English course. The book is well written and was a good novel to study; though I did find the switching of timelines and Narrators to be a bit confusing at points. I feel I may have enjoyed this book a bit better if it weren't in a regimented course setting as it caused breaks in the continuity of the reading. I feel like this book was written in a way that would transfer nicely into a movie as there are flashbacks and different storytellers. Overall though this book is not my style, I am happy I read it and would be interested to see it become a movie.

Heartbreaking but amazing

This is a book that has stayed with me for years after reading it. Boyden's words are so descriptive that I remember the scenes more like a movie than a book. It is truly beautiful, one of my favourite books of all time. but also devastatingly sad.
