An Acadian Odyssey

It’s 1766 and after years of forced exile, Ange Amirault returns to Nova Scotia with his young family. But what kind of life awaits the Acadians?

Brutally forced into exile by the British in 1756, a young seaman, Captain Ange Amirault, is torn from his home and his love, Nathalie. But when the British decree that the Acadians may return to Acadie (in modern-day Nova Scotia) Ange, now reunited with Nathalie, is determined to reclaim his place in the land they love, despite it being under the full control of the distrusted English and amid the steady influx of New England Planters.

In this historical novel, the proud history of the Acadians is embodied in Ange and Nathalie as they build a new life despite the hardships. Acadian lore is woven with eighteenth-century events as an epic, deeply human drama unfolds in this passionate follow-up to Nathalie: An Acadian’s Tale of Tragedy and Triumph.
