Finds the soul of the city

Stuart Nulman has written a wonderful book! As someone who loves and has often visited Montreal, it was exciting to learn not of the monuments but of the moments in Montreal history that has given this exciting city it's soul. To learn of Joe Beef alone is worth the price of the book. If you are planning a trip to Montreal I suggest you read "Beyond the Mountain" first. You'll arrive with a sense of the city not even natives usually have. And even if you are not, it's fascinating, not to mention fun, to discover the lives, loves, hates, quirks, and glories of another corner of the world.

Most people who've lived their lives in Montreal, or hail from there, may be familiar with certain key points in the city's past. In this book, however, Stuart Nulman takes the reader on a guided tour of both the major, and lesser known aspects of the city's history.Far from being a dull historical narrative, the author displays a keen eye for providing detail without overloading the reader with extraneous information.Entries are concise and the book moves along at a brisk pace. It's structure allows the reader to delve into select points in Montreal's history without necessarily having to read an entire chapter.A great travel companion or for those who wish to buff up on Montreal's history or before engaging in a walking tour.
