A History of Marriage a fascinating exploration of marriages past and present, describes real-life experiences in their wider historical context. It also reminds us "that we should treasure what we have gained from recent changes in marriages rather than focus solely on what we may have lost. Abbott is an excellent storyteller with an eye for touching and amusing tales. An enjoyable read, sure to provoke and surprise."
--Globe and Mail
A descendant of Antiguan sugar producers, Elizabeth Abbot traces the sugar that runs in history's veins. Impressively researched and commandingly written, this thoroughly engaging book is a revealing look at how sugar changed the nature of meals, fuelled the Industrial Revolution generated a brutal new form of slavery, and jumpstarted the fast-food revolution. "Sugar and Sugar both will give readers a lift, and ultimately both offer hope."
