A family history like you've never seen before. It is funny, irreverent yet kind-hearted.
We learn about a French mercenary fighting for the British in the War of 1812, a young Irish woman booted out of her family for marrying a Catholic, a captain's court martial in WW I, an unstoppable jockey paralysed in a racing accident, the Orange Order on all four lines,Indigenous genealogy, a weird Canadian accent, all kinds of secrets, and a number of alcoholics, drug users and people with ADHD. Hang on for the ride.
In the process, you will also find the sinuous path travelled to make sense of the genealogy and history uncovered to trace these stories.
''Your writing is refreshingly void of over-indulgent and uncritical praise for your settler-ancestors.''
''Well written, a thoroughly enjoyable read, some snippets had me roaring aloud.''
