Captivating and immersive. I was absorbed by the rich prose and compelling history of the Acadians, in this winning new novel from Laura Frantz.
Beautifully written, this story brings to life the difficult plight of the Acadians, a resourceful people torn from their land. Sylvie is a skilled seamstress, devoted sister and daughter. I admired her strength and how she held tight to the truth as well as her heart for Nolan and Rietta. Will Blackburn is a man of many skills, with a natural air of leadership. I liked his compassion for others, as well as his fair and generous treatment of others, giving them a chance at a better life.
An immersive and evocative read, with a slow burn romance set against a wild and unforgiving young American frontier. A gripping read that was hard to put down, yet I wanted to savor every word. Highly recommend!
