The Seamstress of Acadie by Laura Frantz - Emotional Ride - 4 stars

Amazon Link

 Filled with both beauty and savagery, love and pain, this story dives into a sad history I was unfamiliar with. 

It was hard to read and made me cry several times, reading all that the Acadian people suffered,  who wanted nothing more than peace.

But, there is within the story a love that spans both time and distant spaces (from Acadia; now Nova Scotia to Virginia). A love that shouldn't be, but clearly ordered by God.  That expectation of goodness yet to come is what pushed me to finish the book.

If you do not mind a deeper tale that is rocked with hardship and beauty at the same time, I recommend this book.

QUOTABLE:

Sylvie watched in horror as the fulfilling life they’d known shattered like centuries-old stained glass.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ = very good
