Oeuvre (pronounced as Oovra) is a story of love, faith, hope, journey, risks, capturing moments, suspending gravity, relieving time and memories, adding history, living for the moment, breaking free, defying conventions, embracing pain, carpe diem, admitting the brevity of life, loving, living and staying. The title of the book Oeuvra means the work of a painter, composer or author regarded collectively.

History without the stiffness and polish time creates. Canada’s journey to Confederation kicked off with a bang — or rather, a circus, a civil war (the American one), a small fortune’s worth of champagne, and a lot of making love — in the old-fashioned sense. Miss Confederation offers a rare look back, through a woman’s eyes, at the men and events at the centre of this pivotal time in Canada’s history. Mercy Anne Coles, the daughter of PEI delegate George Coles, kept a diary of the social happenings and political manoeuvrings as they affected her and her desires. A unique historical document, her diary is now being published for the first time, offering a window into the events that led to Canada’s creation, from a point of view that has long been neglected.
