Great novel. The story of two Canadian Cree Indian friends who become snipers in the first world war. The story is told as flashbacks from one of the protagonists as he slowly returns home on a river trip by canoe in Canada. The horrors of the war are experienced differently by the two friends, and are tied to and related by reference to Algonquin mythology (manitous and so-called windigo psychosis) and to images of nature, both in Canada and in no-man's land. A moving account of the war to end all wars.
Recommended by A2J, and seems to unite his interests in Canadian history and Zombie attacks.
