Here are the Canadian works of nonfiction that CBC Books is excited to read in the first half of 2021!

Linda Leith is an influential figure in the Canadian literary landscape. She finally shares her story in the memoir The Girl from Dream City. Leith grew up in Europe, where her father — suffering from manic depression — moves the family around constantly, before finally coming to Canada and settling in Montreal. Leith returned to Europe as a young adult to pursue her education and writing dreams before finally returning to Montreal to embark on a career as a publisher and event organizer.
