A Fantastic and Emotional Read, Touching and Endearing,
This review is from: Canadians: A Portrait of a Country and Its People (Hardcover)
As a Canadian living abroad I found MacGregor's writing compelling, moving, and informative. I loved this book so much I sent this e-mail to the author:Dear Mr. MacGregor: I ordered your book "Canadians" a few months ago from Amazon.ca. I'm a Canadian living in the US for the last 9 years and thought I'd buy it for my 3 adult kids (raised in Canada primarily but now all in the US). Heading to the airport last Thursday I grabbed it for something to read on the plane. I hadn't cracked the cover before that. As I sat on the plane, reading the first two pages I began to weep. My American husband couldn't believe it. I could hardly get through the first chapter. When I tried to tell him what it was about I choked back the tears to get the words out. I'm only on Chapter 5 but I have laughed and cried and laughed and cried. I am just amazed at the emotion your book is bringing out of me. I'm 48 and grew up as a kid in the Trudeau era and watched Rocket Richard on the ice. You have reminded me of some things, taught me others, given me insight into things I only knew vaguely. Your writing style is compelling and wonderful. Thank you for such a "touching" read. I'm thinking I'll have to now buy three more copies, one for each of my children. |
