CBC Recommends Memoirs by 15 Canadian Women

CBC has just published a list of 15 memoirs by Canadian women that are worth reading (also available as a PDF), and we spot two Talon authors on it!

Bev Sellars’s book, They Called Me Number One: Secrets and Survival at an Indian Residential School, has been a bestseller of ours since it was first published in 2013. Also on the list is Something Fierce: Memoir of a Revolutionary Daughter by Talon playwright Carmen Aguirre.

Sellars and Aguirre are in excellent company on this list; any of these books would make excellent summer reading.
