They Left Us Everything: A Memoir. By Plum Johnson ***

This is a memoir of a family who lived in a huge old house in Oakville.  The book won this year's RBC award The Taylor Prize for best non- fiction writing, and I heard the author interviewed on CBC- sounded interesting so I downloaded the book.

It was interesting enough, and the story of the parents was intriguing, but it certainly wasn't earth- shattering. Basically a normal family, although the parents were quite colourful people.
