Quite possibly the single best book ever written on this subject! John Mack Faragher’s highly detailed and comprehensive study on the outrageous and shameful expulsion of the French Acadians in the 18th century at the callous hands of the British and Yankee colonists ought to be included in the curriculum of every high school in both Canada and the U.S. But of course it is not, alas. It is not too much of an exaggeration to claim that this book changed my life when I first read it 10 years ago. Because of it, I rediscovered my love of writing historical fiction! Thank you Mr. Faragher!
