Critics Review
“The NDP leader’s new book, Love & Courage … [is] not a political memoir but a highly personal one, dealing with racism, sexual abuse and the challenges of coping with an alcoholic parent.”
“If the NDP does better, Love & Courage might have something to do with it. Many politicians claim to understand other people’s suffering. Jagmeet Singh has been there… . Love & Courage is a brave, raw, compelling testament to one man’s will to overcome. That he wrote it as leader of a national political party is remarkable. I have never seen its like.” – John Ibbitson * Globe and Mail *
“An intimate and compelling story that I cannot ever recall, as a lifelong political biography junkie, ever having read anywhere else.” – Robin V. Sears * Toronto Star *
“[Singh’s] surprisingly intimate memoir opens a new window onto a youth that was at times heartbreakingly painful… . It does give new meaning to Singh’s signature political catchphrase, ‘love and courage.’” * National Post *
“The NDP leader’s new book, Love & Courage … [is] not a political memoir but a highly personal one, dealing with racism, sexual abuse and the challenges of coping with an alcoholic parent.” * Winnipeg Free Press *
