While renovating her Saskatoon home, Candace Savage discovers a story more fascinating and heartbreaking than she expected. Napoléon Sureau dit Blondin built the house in the 1920s, an era when French-speakers like him were deemed "undesirable." In an atmosphere poisoned first by the Orange Order and then by the Ku Klux Klan, Napoléon and his young family did their best to disguise their "foreignness." In Strangers in the House, Savage scours historical records and interviews Napoleon's descendants to reveal a family story marked by challenge and resilience. In the process, she examines a troubling episode in Canadian history with surprising relevance today.
