In 1985, while she was a student at the National Theatre School, Brooke Johnson became friends with Pierre Elliott Trudeau. It had been a year-and-a-half since his walk in the snow, and while he was no longer doing pirouettes behind the Queen, he was sometimes hanging around with Brooke, sliding down ice-covered staircases on Mount Royal.

This personal insight into the man and the times, as seen through the eyes of a passionate artist, is not to be missed. Vivid and charming, poignant and very funny, Trudeau Stories is about friendship and loss and about who (the heck) we think we are.
