FeatureBY CHARELLE EVELYN | September 27, 2021
Former Liberal-turned-Independent MP Celina Caesar-Chavannes' memoir was described by the Shaughnessy Cohen Prize jury members Peter Dauvergne, Adrian Harewood, and Heather Scoffield as a 'memoir like no other in the history of Canadian politics. Breathtakingly candid, she takes us on a rollercoaster ride through her childhood, relations, mental health struggles, and time in public office. Along the way she exposes deep-seated racism and sexism in Canadian society and on Parliament Hill and reminds us that our politicians are real people: vulnerable, caring, resilient. Her dry sense of humour, sparkling intellect, and courage in speaking her mind leave the reader reeling in admiration. Such a powerful voice cannot be silenced."
