On the eve of Canada’s sesquicentennial celebrations, acclaimed historian Charlotte Gray presents a richly rewarding new book about what it means to be Canadian. Readers already know Gray as an award-winning biographer, a writer who has brilliantly captured significant individuals and dramatic moments in our history. Now, in The Promise of Canada, she weaves together masterful portraits of nine influential Canadians — including Emily Carr, Margaret Atwood, Tommy Douglas, Elijah Harper and Preston Manning — and in the process creates a unique history of the country over the past 150 years.
