The Great Depression 1929–1939 by Pierre Berton (1990) is a compelling narrative history that draws on oral testimonies, memoirs, and firsthand accounts to illuminate one of the most difficult decades in Canadian life. Rather than focusing solely on economic or political analysis, Berton captures the lived experiences of ordinary Canadians, weaving their stories into a vivid portrait of hardship and resilience. Praised for its rich storytelling, the book brings the era to life with striking detail, from the Dust Bowl and crippling droughts on the Prairies to the eventual recovery as war production in 1939 helped lift the nation out of depression.

Travel offers a unique opportunity to step away from routine and immerse oneself in new experiences—and the right book can be the perfect companion along the way. Whether you're on a sun-drenched beach, a bustling train, or waiting at an airport terminal, a well-chosen book can enhance the journey, offering escape, reflection, or even inspiration. Compact, engaging reads are ideal for travel. Novellas, short story collections, and page-turning thrillers are particularly well-suited for their accessibility and momentum. ravel has a rhythm of its own—quiet mornings, hurried connections, unexpected pauses—and poetry fits seamlessly into those in-between spaces. Unlike longer novels, poetry invites you to slow down and savor language in small, powerful doses, making it an ideal companion for the traveler. Slim volumes of verse are easy to pack and carry, and a single poem can linger in your mind long after you've closed the book. Collections by Mary Oliver, Rainer Maria Rilke...
