Title : Acadia, Promised Land - Alain Dubos - book
Summary :
From 1695 to 1755, the great saga of the Lestang family, their allies (the Héberts, the Melansons, etc.) and their descendants in New France and Acadia.
Arriving from Béarn, Julien, Catherine, Ti'Pierre, and their parents disembark at Port-Royal in the spring of 1695. Each of the children will follow their own path, following the tumult of this distant France coveted by the English. Julien blends into the wild world of hunters and Indians; Catherine experiences passionate love affairs; Pierre becomes a feared privateer. Their destiny, as well as that of their children and grandchildren, will be eventful: discovery of a new world, passions, marriages and betrayals, exodus, fierce struggle against the English or agreement with them. All nevertheless have this in common: the conquering spirit, the visceral love for their new homeland, and the pain of exile, the inevitable tragedy to come...
