A review by nanajo
New York by Edward Rutherfurd

4.0

There are so many aspects of this book to love; Ottawa setting, rich characters, Englush language lessons and the wonderful humour about the political scene which is truly not a laughing matter in Canada at this moment. Readers are introduced to a politician who believes in "honesty, forthrightness, the national interest over the local interest, fiscal responsibility, and social justice." He is concentrating first on the major issues that "I believe are most significant to Canadians right now. The economy, equality and justice, our environment, jobs, and the prudent expenditure of our hard-earned tax dollars." My hope for Canada was inspired by this politician. How sad that he is fictional!!
