Charlotte Gray

Ottawa (Ontario)

Charlotte Gray — best-selling novelist, well-respected magazine journalist and frequent political commentator — has laboured faithfully and meticulously in Canadian history and biography for years with her impressive literary talents and dedication.

In those years, she has revealed a deep sympathy for ordinary men and women, who faced adversity and challenge in the Canadian experience. By showing us how they endured and what they overcame, Charlotte Gray, with the sweep of her dramatic narrative, honours their memories and enriches our collective inheritance as a nation of people.

Vivid, elegant, textured, delightful — these are mere wisps of words that allude to the power of her presence in Canadian literature today. Flint & Feather: The Life and Times of E. Pauline Johnson, Tekahionwake, Sisters in the Wilderness: The Lives of Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill and Mrs. King: The Life and Times of Isabel Mackenzie King, are on their way to being recognized as “must-reads” for any student of history, professional and amateur alike.
