Description

pp. 128, “Full of the same warmth and good humour that distinguished the Right Honourable Roland Michener and his wife Norah Michener in their public role as one of Canada’s most viceregal couples, ‘Memories of a Governor General’s Daughter’ spans nearly sixty years of their life as seen through the eyes of their eldest daughter. Joan Michener Rohr recounts a variety of stories, ranging from the family’s happy days in Toronto’s Rosedale district, to impressions of her father’s early political career, his challenging term as Speaker of the House of Commons, and the excitement of living in New Delhi when he was High Commissioner, and, of course, his appointment as Canada’s twentieth Governor General in Canada’s Centennial Year.”
