The book,
Three Day Road, tells the story of two Cree natives, Elijah and Xavier, who become famous snipers in the Canadian army during the first World War. When Xavier returns home, missing a leg, addicted to morphine and clearly dying, his auntie Niska picks him up at the train station and they begin their three day canoe trip home. This suggests the title and relates to death. Niska tries to sustain Xavier on their trip home by telling her stories of Elijah's and Xavier's childhood and in return, Xavier tells stories of what happened in the Front and Elijah's descent into madness.
That book sounds very interesting! You give a lot of information on the content.Try to give more information on how you would compare your book to the Book of Negroes. It would be very interesting to compare the two books, because they don't have any obvious plot similarities. I would be really excited to read your ISU.
