Book Reviews of Three Day Road
Book Review: A 'must read' literary work for medical students
Summary: 4 Stars
An aspect of this work which has not been emphasized by reviewers is the singularly excellent description of morphine addiction found in Joseph Boyden's novel. My understanding is that a close relative of Mr. Boyden's was an army doctor during WW1 thus the extraordindarily detailed knowledge which the author has brought so effectively into this work. In truth, medicine needs to be taught not only from textbooks but also from works of art. "Three Day Road" should be included in medical curricula in order that doctors get a much needed 'gut feel' about opiate addiction. Once read, never forgotten: that is the power of Boyden's work.
