Mr. Boyden went on to win the 2008 Giller Prize for his second novel, Through Black Spruce.

Novel set in the Northern Ontario wilderness and on the battlefields of the Western Front, it was partly inspired by the legend of Francis Pegamahgabow, the great Indian sniper of WWI. "Boyden, like Homer in The Iliad, is precise and unflinching in his descriptions of the ways in which soldiers fall in battle... [A] remarkable achievement, and a breathtaking debut." –The Globe and Mail
