For years it functioned in a state of complete and absolute secrecy, but now the first definitive look at the role of the powder room and the modus operandi of the hitherto unsuspected Canadian powder network has appeared. Written by a knowledgeable insider, this rollicking account provides some startling new information about who really runs the country - this carefully contrived study suggests it is a little-known but extremely powerful old girls' network. The reader is taken on an hilarious coast-to-coast, province-by-province tour of the country and is introduced to such key members of the network as Ida "Splits" Puddock Noseworthy, Cynthia "Moosie" Davies Hedlund, and the unforgettable Dorothea "Dodo" Oxford Yabooti. The end result is a delightfully uproarious book that shows the Canadian art of the put-on at its very finest and Charlie Farquharson's convoluted English at its best. The editor-in-chief of this volume, Valerie Rosedale, is perhaps more commonly known as Don Harron."--Gerry Meek, CBRAOnline ; nicks to dustjacket, else FINE/G. Book.…
