The Siren Years: Large Print Edition (Large Print Library) - Softcover
The journals of Canadian diplomat Charles Ritchie have long been regarded as standards of the genre. In the words of George Woodcock, "The classic memoir has been presented in the three beautifully written volumes of Charles Ritchie's journals, showing that from the rich experience of a Canadian public servant, literature can be created."
The Siren Years, the first volume of Ritchie's valuable record, won a Governor General's Award in 1974

From the Back Cover:
“Open these volumes anywhere and you will be rewarded with a razor-sharp profile of an individual, an original insight into the world affairs of the moment, a description of a room or a landscape startling in its visual sensuality, and at least one or two sentences that will make you laugh aloud.”
–Jane Urquhart, Brick magazine
“For anyone allured by diaries, here is a brilliant discovery. Charles Ritchie is a natural-born diarist.”
–C. P. Snow
“One of the great diarists of our time.”
