The Death of My Country: The Plains of Abraham Diary of Geneviève Aubuchon by Maxine Trottier

5.0

Well researched , well written, and most importantly will suck children in to a story they can become engrossed in and never know they are actually learning history. I was surprised on how much I learned and also came to understand the French heritage of Quebec. Ashamed I am of my lack of empathy for the plight of the French (in my defence I was raised in Ontario and of Britain decent ) we were taught mostly I sympathy towards the English. I truly appreciate hearing these stories and understanding and more importantly facing my own predjudice- owning that and becoming better for it. ok there was also a character who was a Scot with a background of Culloden who becomes a publisher - lol remind you of someone
