Through Black Spruce – Joseph Boyden

Award-winning novelist Joseph Boyden’s hotly anticipated second book Through Black Spruce is out now. This highly-acclaimed novel won the prestigious Scotiabank Giller Prize in Canada.

Fifteen years after the death of their patriarch Xavier, the Bird Clan finds itself struggling to survive on the hardscrabble reservation they call home. On Christmas Day, the youngest of the clan, a beautiful young woman called Suzanne leaves by snowmobile with her boyfriend Gus Netmaker, against both families’ wishes, hoping to find purpose and a better life in Toronto.

When word from Suzanne and Gus suddenly ceases, the Netmakers and Birds fear the worst and tensions between the two families escalate to violent levels. Suzanne’s sister Annie, a loner and a hunter, decides to leave home for the very first time to search for them, leaving behind their uncle Will, a man haunted by loss. While Annie travels from Toronto to New York, from modelling studios to A-list parties, Will encounters dire troubles at home. Both eventually come to painful discoveries about the inescapable ties of family. Winner of the Giller prize for 2008.
