“The Midwife of Venice” by Roberta Rich is an engrossing, quickly paced story of both 16th century Venice and a troubled love affair. Added are mystery and murder to make a fun read.
“Bad Medicine” by John Reilly describes the soul-destroying circumstances under which our Natives are forced to live. Reilly was appointed Provincial Court Judge whose jurisdiction was the First Nation’s community of the Morley Reserve. He exposes the failure of the justice system in dealing with the Aboriginal lawbreakers. Rielly’s cry for help is being largely ignored by both our federal and provincial governments. Reilly has some very positive suggestions for change and his book should be a must read for every Canadian.
