Summary
Summer 1755, Acadia. Amľie Belliveau lives with her family in Grande Pr,̌ Nova Scotia. The community believes they can remain on neutral political ground, but when they refuse to pledge allegiance to the British in their war against the French, the army invades Grande Pr,̌ claims the land, and rips the people from their homes. Amľie?s entire family, alongside the other Acadians, is exiled to ports unknown aboard dilapidated ships. Fortunately, Amľie has made a powerful ally. Having survived his own harrowing experience at the hands of the English, Corporal Connor MacDonnell is a reluctant participant in the British plan to expel the Acadians from their homeland. His sympathy for Amľie gradually evolves into a profound love, and he resolves to help her and her family in any way he can - even if it means treason. Bestseller. 2017
