Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Riveting." * Manchester Guardian *
"Take a cantankerous patriarch, throw in some very famous paintings and a family at war — and you have the ingredients of a gripping thriller. In Jacques Poitras's skillful hands they become something more: a wise meditation on a friendship that went very wrong." -- Elizabeth Renzetti * The Globe and Mail *
"A journalistic tour-de-force." * BC Award for Canadian Non-Fiction *
"Jacques Poitras has written a delicious story about the battle for Lord Beaverbrook's paintings. He has used a brilliant cast of characters — a mix of canny homegrown New Brunswickers and powerful British aristocrats — to pull together an important work of social and political history. Yes, this is a big, important book, but it's also a helluva lot of fun to read." -- Stevie Cameron
