LiKE MANY BOOKS, this one began with the author's curiosity about an apparently small question: Why do we know next to nothing about a person whose contemporaries thought her so outstanding? I had seen a few passing references to Caroline Macdonald before I came across a more extended comment in the memoirs of the Canadian diplomat and public servant, the late Hugh Keenleyside. While serving as first secretary in the newly established Canadian legation in Tokyo in the late 19205, he observed Caroline Macdonald's social work and came to know her well. Many years later he described her as one of the dozen or so 'most remarkable men and women' he had ever known, in a roster including Dag Hammarskjold, Lester B. Pearson, Wilder Penfield, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Barbara Ward, J.S. Woodsworth, and Shigeru Yoshida.
