Twelve-year-old Angelique Richard has lived her whole life on her family's farm in Grand-Pre, Acadia, as part of a large, loving family. But the year is 1755, and life for everyone in Acadia is about to change forever. The British government has been imposing more and more restrictions on the Acadian people, due to the war with the French. Although the Acadians wish to remain neutral, the British refuse to trust them. Angelique's father and many of the other men are thrown in jail for signing a petition in protest of this unfair treatment, and even worse is to come for the people of Grand-Pre. Angelique describes this all in her diary, first telling of everyday life -- doing chores, going to church, fun times with her brothers, sisters, and cousins -- and then the difficulties she faces as the British impose more restrictions on her people, culminating in the unjustified deportation of her people, and Angelique's struggle to retain hope in the heartbreak that follows. This book is one of my favorite books from the Dear Canada series. Angelique is a wonderfully real character who brings to life the heartbreaking story of the Acadians and the tragedies they faced during their forced exile from their homelands. I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy historical fiction or who enjoyed previous Dear Canada books. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
