Revell and Netgalley provided me with a copy of The Seamstress of Acadie for review:

On Canada’s Acadian shore, tensions between the French and British are reaching a fever pitch as 1754 approaches its end. Sylvie Galant and her family, French-speaking Acadians who want to remain neutral, are caught between two forts flying opposing flags. The talk of unrest, war, and William Blackburn, the British Army Ranger, raising havoc across North America’s borderlands predominates during the preparations for Christmas.

As summer takes hold in 1755 and British ships appear on the horizon, Sylvie encounters Blackburn, who warns her of imminent invasion. In order to avoid participation in the forced removal of the Acadians, he resigns his commission. But that won’t save Sylvie or her family. She struggles to pick up the pieces of her life after being relocated on a ramshackle ship to Virginia. Her path crosses once again with William’s, and they must work through the tangle of their shared, shattered past to navigate the present.

I give The Seamstress of Acadie five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
