A wonderful insight into the Acadian Deportation!
An excellent book and a must read for young adults. You actually seem to experience what it might be like if one was transported back to 1755. The description of Acadian life is spectacular. I thought that the author delicatley intertwines the historical aspects of the novel with the contemporary storyline. I felt that I learned a good deal about the devastating deportation and could empathize with the stuggle of the Acadian people.
