[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spend way too much time recommending this but I loved it and most people haven’t heard of it so: Truth Be Told by Bev McLachlin — she was Chief Justice on the Canadian Supreme Court and this is her memoir.  It’s fascinating and I found it very engaging.  I bought the audio book; not sure if it’s on any of the usual listening services, sorry.

On a much lighter note, I’ve recently been rereading Elizabeth Peter’s Vicky Bliss mysteries which are about an art historian who occasionally solves crime.[/quote]

Wow Truth Be Told is amazing. I'm almost halfway through it now. I'm a Canadian who lives in Alberta AND works in Family Law and had never heard of it! Lawyers I work with also didn't know about it. It's so good so far, thanks for the fabulous rec! 🥲[/quote]

Omg I’m so glad someone has picked this up at my recommendation!  I feel like a broken record saying people should read it but it’s so good!  I’m Canadian but my parents moved to the US when I was young so most of my schooling was in the US and it was an absolutely fascinating read for me especially putting in context some of the politics my parents discussed growing up.

Another Canadian/Alberta rec I’ll put out there is Ducks by Kate Beaton which is an autobiography of her time working in the oil sands to pay off her student debt.[/quote]
