Pressestimmen
"This book is a masterpiece. It tells us more about ourselves and our country than any comparable work I know of, accomplishing this by style and wit and unconstrained intelligence all made credible by abundant detail. [...] This is an inexhaustibly interesting book about an inexhaustibly interesting country." (Richard Gwyn)"Once again, Charlotte Gray helps us better understand who we are as an evolving nation—a country for all that will thrive well beyond the next 150 years." (Naheed Nenshi, Mayor of Calgary)“Charlotte Gray writes of Canada with an immigrant’s passion and an insider’s knowledge. With her lively profiles, provocative ideas, and unabashed love of country, The Promise of Canada is a promise kept.” (Christopher Moore)“Charlotte Gray’s The Promise of Canada dares to investigate our contradictions and conundrums through the stories of ordinary Canadians who made an extraordinary difference. From our historic past to our post-national present, Gray explores our culture from within the lives we live. This book is a triumph and a tour de force.” (Aritha van Herk)"Amazing! In weaving her own fascinating story throughout deft and telling profiles of critical Canadians over the past 150 years, Charlotte Gray has succeeded in giving us a remarkable “biography” of her adopted country. She now joins the likes of Pierre Berton, Peter C. Newman and Bruce Hutchison as guardians of the national mirror. A marvelous read." (Roy MacGregor)“If I had to get Canada a gift for its 150th birthday, this book would be at the top of my list. With the richly told stories of these extraordinary Canadians—men and women from all walks of life—Charlotte Gray tells us what’s extraordinary about Canada itself. It’s a promise that we can see fulfilled around us every day.” (Susan Delacourt)"I've had a literary crush on Charlotte Gray for years. She's smart, funny, insightful. . . . This fascinating collection of biograpy as history takes us from West Coast art to strong-jawed Mounties, from Margaret Atwood to Preston Manning, with equal aplomb. Wonderful!" (Will Ferguson)“The Promise of Canada is a true feat and it manages to highlight some of our most important stories. Some readers might feel that Gray left out a cause, symbol, or person (for example, there’s nothing on hockey here) but she does a good job of packing in as much in as possible.” (The Globe and Mail)“Painstakingly researched and thoroughly engaging, The Promise of Canada is a pleasurable read, and, what’s more, it’s edifying.” (The Globe and Mail)“The Promise of Canada: 150 Years – People and Ideas That Have Shaped Our Country, takes a beautiful, slightly different and very successful way of looking at things — by looking at the people, places and stories she feels helped bring us together.” (The Winnipeg Free Press)

Charlotte Gray, one of Canada’s best know writers of non-fiction, has produced another gem. The Promise of Canada: 150 years of People and Ideas that have shaped our Country is the one volume I would hope most Canadians read this year. Beginning with George-Etienne Cartier and finishing up with Preston Manning she provides insights into the soul of our country. Three particular chapters stood out for me. Her writing about Emily Carr and her art was entrancing. Most commentary on art is vapid gibberish. Hers is insightful, probing, thoughtful and prosaic. Similarly her writing about Justice Bertha Wilson brings to life a truly remarkable woman who forged a trail in law that broke many a glass ceiling. The chapter on Elijah Harper provides the best explanation of the case aboriginals have for a fundamental reform from how we have treated them the past. If I had to pick one book to give this Christmas this is it.
I have read histories of Canada and admit to be a Canadaphile, but The Promise of Canada gave me a different perspective of this great and fascinating neighbor. Taking a different approach, the author highlights several not-so-major historical figures who nevertheless give the reader an essential understanding and appreciation of The True North Strong and Free.
Really interesting view of pivotal moments in Canada's history. Greatly appreciate the authors willingness to dig deep rather than fill the book with the usual suspects. All the chapters involve names and topics you "kind of" know...but give insight into who, what and how.
This made a great gift to my husband's cousin who is an aspiring public policy employee in Toronto. Super great stories that are empowering
Excellent book, easy to read and perfect to get acquainted with Canadian history to refresh one's memory. Should be translated into French for all Quebecers to read and others, of course.
