I loved this novel for the voice: Will's voice carries a slow intonation reminicent of an aboriginal storyteller. As the reader I could hear his accented words in my imagination as I followed his story.
Joseph Boyden is one of my favorite authors for his descriptive ability to make me clearly visualize scenes, people, places and voices.
