Andrew posted a review at for True Patriot Love.
(Language: English)
I have read three of his previous books a few years ago but nothing since he has become involved in Canadian politics. In the introduction to the book he covers the basis of his reasons to become involved in politics. I took away two main ideas from this section. It is our job as citizens to imagine the country we want to have. The second is that true political leadership is empathizing with all citizens. Not necessarily agreeing with them on everything but making an attempt at understanding their perspective. These seem simple and straightforward goals but we haven't seen them in this country in a while.

Andrew posted a review at for An Unrehearsed Desire.
(Language: English)
Enjoyable and diverse collection of short stories. Everything from a woman living and triumphing over an abusive spouse to several painful childhood experiences to a failed business dinner in Paris. I am partial to short story collections and like to savour them over a week or two. My favourite stories are the title story and "Rat Medicine." If I was left asking for more in some stories it would a specific setting.

(Language: English)
Fun little oil patch tall tale, looks at it through a female/mystical perspective...just about everything it isn't in my experience.

Andrew posted a review at for The Winter Vault.
(Language: English)
First read satisfying...I've read Fugitive Pieces 5 times (including audiobook listens) and watched the movie adaptation...so just getting started with this one. More of a straight forward narrative than FP and arguably more political...
