Acadia / Alfred Silver. by Silver, Alfred. Ballantine Books, 1996. Call #: FICTION SIL Subjects La Tour, Charles de Saint-Etienne de, 1593-1666 -- Fiction.   Thomas Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award.   Acadia -- History -- Fiction. ISBN:  0345379500 (1996 Ballantine) 189590062X (2004 Pottersfield Press trade pbk.) Description:  1 v. (various pagings). Summary:  The story of the blood feud that founded the French colony of Acadia and the two very different married couples at the centre of it. In the 1640s, the authorities in Paris allowed two men to believe each was the sole Governor of all Acadia. Charles La Tour was a wiry and wily self-made man who lived in Acadia for thirty years. Charles de Menou d'Aulnay was a relative newcomer, son of one of the oldest families in French nobility, and had good reason to regard La Tour as an unprincipled, uncivilized rogue. Jeanne Motin was d'Aulnay’s much younger wife. Françoise Marie Jacquelin was the retired Parisian actress whom La Tour inveigled to come marry him in Acadia. Awards:  Winner of the Thomas Head Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award, 1997. Genre:  Historical fiction. Canadian fiction. Holds:  0   Copy/Holding information No Item Information
