Six Non-Fiction Books with Really Great Stories
Truth can be more fun than fiction! All of these books have in common three things—they tell a great story and they are completely non-fiction. Oh, and they are all from anglophone authors with a Quebec connection. From bringing down a motorcycle gang to raising a son with autism, each narrative unfolds on the page with imagery and dialogue, extensive research and the energy that only a true tale can bring.
