Novelist Nino Ricci was in grade school when the charismatic Pierre Elliott Trudeau became Prime Minister in 1968, but even then, he was aware of Trudeau’s singularity. As Trudeau fought for strong federal powers, individual rights, and bilingualism, it was his advocacy of multiculturalism that most directly affected Ricci’s life. His family was part of the wave of Italian immigrants who felt welcomed to Canada by Trudeau’s expansive vision of the country. Written with the narrative flair that has made him a bestselling author, Ricci explores Trudeau’s two sides: the private intellectual and the pirouetting politician who changed Canada.
