Acadia
Three centuries ago on the coast of Nova Scotia intrepid Frenchmen built a wealthy fur trading colony they called Acadia. On one side of the beautiful Baye Fran oise reigned aristocratic Sicur d’Aulnay. On the other, the rebel Charles La Tour and his wife, a retired actress, held sway. There was fierce enmity between them, and in France, wily old Cardinal Richelieu was pleased that it should be so. But to the Acadians the escalating violence brought only fear and suffering. And before long, La Tour and d’Aulnay and everyone they each held dear were to be trapped in the machinery of hatred they had set in motion…
. Acadia is the thrilling true story of real men and women ancestors of the Louisiana Cajuns who gambled on a dream and an unforeseeable destiny. It is distinguished historical novelist Alfred Silver’s finest work.
