Finished reading, 1945 The year that made modern CANADA, Ken Cuthertson, is enjoyable and informative. If you like history, particularly Canadian, Cuthertson’s book is a delightful way to learn a lot about the people that shaped this period and the future of Canada – the baby bonus, social welfare, many crown corporations.
Also just finished reading, The Lonely Heart’s Hotel by Heather O’Neill, a heart- wrenching story of two orphans set in Montreal between the two world wars, a period when catholic churches thrived and acted with impunity, while gangs controlling drugs, gambling and prostitution flourished – Montreal was known as “sin city.”
Anyone who has read my recent novel “Waskaganish,” or my book “Northern Deco – Art Deco Architecture in Montreal,” knows that I am an enthusiast of Canadian and Montreal history, where I love to set my work.
From NYT Bestseller Alessandra Torre , I just received her free e-book, Tripping on a Halo. I must admit, a genre I usually don’t read. A catchy opening that brings snickers and smiles, followed by compelling repartee – looks like an enjoyable read – have not had time to complete it yet.
