Chronicle of Canada von Elizabeth Abbott
Tells the story of Canada from pre-history to 1989, in whose development generations of Britons have played a significant role. There are special features on my Canada and Canadian provinces and territories as well as items on history, culture, languages and landscape.
I have really enjoyed some of Abbott's other books, so I had high hopes for this one. Marketed as the story of sugar, the majority of the book was really a story about the slave trade. While the histories of sugar and the slave trade are inextricably linked, it really did feel as if the closing few chapters (after the slavery discussion) were an afterthought to wrap everything up, with much left to be discussed.
I received an ARC through Goodreads.

Wow, just wow! Such an inspirational memoir. The unwavering devotion and unconditional love of a beloved pet inspires countless people to go above and beyond, sometimes moving mountains to do what it takes to save and protect their beloved pets.
Getting a chance to read about the horrors and neglect that the dogs that Elizabeth has encountered, it's hard not to get emotional, especially when you read about the dogs' happy endings after a harsh start to life. There are a lot of amazing people out there, who's tireless efforts (rescuing every animal they can from being slaughtered or put down for being unadoptable), for deserves huge recognition for everything they have done and what they have sacrificed.
Every pet (cat, dog, doesn't matter) deserves a second, third and countless chances at happiness. After all, they don't let their past or disabilities get them down once they find their forever home or chance at redemption. Just like Bonzi, Pochi, and so many others to name.
Reading this book was heart-warming and heart wrenching, and it has certainly opened my eyes to the greater world of adopting and volunteering. At the end of the day, it makes me want to hug my dog even closer and savour every moment we have.… (mehr)
