A concise history of Quebec, from the earliest days of colonization
to the aftermath of the most recent sovereignty referendum,
rendered in an easily read 200 pages. As fascinating as the march
of great figures and the mapping of landmark events are the details
of how they affected the ordinary life of their times." —Montreal
Gazette
"At a trim 208 pages (including a tidy timeline of Quebec history
and a useful index) and in a soft cover, it's the kind of book
that's easy to carry on a trip and easy to bring to bed. It's also
a good read which offers lots of room for reflection." —Quebec
Heritage News
"[This] is both an excellent history book to refresh the reader’s
memory and a rich introduction to a people who were told they had
no history. A great read." —Hélène De Billy, journalist
