Unto the Day, (Paperback)

<b>Life changes dramatically for suffragist Anne Brown after her husband's death.</b><br><br>In the spring of 1880, wealthy politician and <i>Globe</i> editor George Brown was at the height of his career when he was shot by a disgruntled poet who worked in the newspaper's boiler room. Brown left an undeniable legacy as a founder of the modern Liberal Party, fierce abolitionist, industrialist, and preeminent Father of Confederation. Yet he was not without his flaws: Brown infamously disliked the Irish and arrogantly declared that women should not vote.<br><br>In this deeply imagined work of historical fiction, narrated through the perspective of characters most impacted by his formidable presence, readers witness the struggle of a motherless Irish domestic in fear and awe of Brown; his wife, Anne, a suffragist who is caught between devotion and defiance of her husband's authority; and the world-weary poet who seethes with resentment, harbouring notions of revenge. Immersive, epic, and emotionally moving, <i>Unto the Day</i> is an intelligent, captivating literary feat.
