Ghosts Road

It reaches the climax of its rising trilogy about World War I. The events of the novel take place in the final months of the fiercest and most barbaric conflicts of modern times. In France, millions of men engaged in a brutal trench war, all of them "ghosts in the making." In England, psychiatrist William Rivers—who suffers from sharp pangs of conscience—treats war-affected victims psychologically to rehabilitate them enough to resume fighting. One of these victims, Billy Prair, the brave, sarcastic boy who was promoted from the working class to the officer class, decides to return to France with his fellow officer, poet Wilfred Owen, to fight in a war he no longer believes in. Meanwhile, Rivers catches the flu and succumbs to fever, which takes him back in memory to his experiences during his studies with a tribe from the South Pacific living under customs rooted in a culture of death. Between the shores of his community and that of this tribe, Rivers begins to form bonds that shed new light on his understanding—and our understanding—of war. The pages of this book combine poetic intensity and bold realism, blending biting humor with tragic drama, moving toward an inevitable and profoundly heavy conclusion. "The Path of Ghosts" is a novel that surrounds history and surpasses it, making it a contemporary literary masterpiece.
