In 1985, while she was a student at the National Theatre School
in Montreal, Brooke Johnson became friends with Pierre Elliott Trudeau.

It had been a year and a half since he'd stepped down as Prime Minister, and now he was walking to work, putting cereal bowls on cartoon placemats, washing dishes and making peanut-butter on toast. He was no longer doing pirouettes behind the Queen but sometimes he was hanging around with Brooke, sliding down ice-covered staircases on Mount Royal.

Through reminiscences, journal entries and correspondence, Brooke brings to life the story of a remarkable friendship.

This private insight into the man and the times as seen through the eyes of a passionate artist is not to be missed.

At once vital and charming; poignant and very funny, Trudeau Stories is about friendship and loss...and about who the heck we think we are.

"Engaging...Vital..."
