1 comments about George Nowlan: Maritime Conservative in National Politics.
- Conrad's book is not a political biography, but a history of politics in Nova Scotia and Canada. Accordingly one can learn about more than the life of George Nowlan, federal finance minister and long time member of parliament from the Annapolis Valley. Nowlan's son also represented the Nova Scotia riding but without his father's success or longevity. The details of local organization and party machinery are as interesting and revealing as the larger picture of Nowlan's part in national politics. Political history is shown to be a result and part of the social context.

1 comments about Marynia, Don't Cry: Memoirs of Two Polish Canadian Families (Ethnocultural Voices).
- I strongly recommend this book for anyone with Polish ancestry who would like to grasp a phase in the history of their nationality, as well as anyone who liked the storyline of Angela's Ashes. Part I is an amazing and shocking account of a family's endurance of dreadful hardships in the early 1900s in Poland and their eventual migration to Canada. Were the story embellished with more prose, it would be a Polish counterpart of Angela's Ashes! (and easily go on as a box office hit). I was constantly in awe of the determination and comradery of the women in overcoming astonishing obstacles in order to simply survive.
