1. A fascinating glimpse into a bygone era fraught with hardship. But: this is a collection of vignettes. None are longer than two pages.

1 comments about My Mountie & Me: A True Story.

1. This book is the story of one mountie wife and all mountie wives. The long hours alone while their husbands face danger and possible death; the less than generous pay and allowances; the need to meet RCMP standards and requirements without any RCMP understanding or support -- all mountie wives will be able to relate to Nora Kelly's frustration with the force. They will also likely be able to relate to her eventual appreciation for the history of this great Canadian peacekeeping institution and her admiration of the many accomplishments of her mountie, his partners and the force. Very readable and very fresh, this book is also a compelling personal look at an important and fascinating time in Canadian history. There are two other fine companion books co-authored by Nora Kelly and her husband William H. Kelly -- "Policing the Fringe: A Young Mountie's Story" and "Policing in Wartime: One Mountie's Story".

1. If you are a Canadian who wondered why the Avro Arrow met its mysterious fate and the unknown but equally sad fate of the potential of aerospace/ electronics industry in this country along with it ,this book will give at least a graphic snapshot for you. Some parts of it are rather technical, and I had originally bought it for my dad, a retired electrical engineer because it describes how the technology of transformers developed with the growth of the power grid in Ontario from the period of 1920- 1970.The book however goes on to describe the fascinating outgrowth from power transmission to a vibrant, if short lived, computer industry in Ontario,and the turbulent pull of global markets , international economies and more importantly the first reality check of what it is to be a Canadian itself in Canadian society, and on the world stage, pre and post WW2
