Summary:
"
Nathalie
: An
Acadian
's
Tale
of
Tragedy
and
Triumph
chronicles the "coming-of-age" story of
Nathalie
Belliveau, a 13-year-old
Acadian
girl. Separated from her family during the 1755 expulsion from Grand-Pre, Nova Scotia,
Nathalie
travels more than 150 kilometres to Cap-Sable with two older companions, encountering the Mi'kmaq along the way. When
Nathalie
reaches Pobomcoup (Pubnico), she becomes betrothed to Ange Amirault -- but her happiness is short-lived when the British deport the Acadians living there from Baccaro Passage in 1756. A series of tragic events keep the young lovers apart.
Nathalie
must use her tenacity and self-efficacy to survive as an indentured servant in North Carolina. Meanwhile, Ange must overcome the hardships of family heartbreaks and subsistence living in the hope of reuniting with his betrothed. Written for young adults, the novel is based on the real lives of two
Acadian
families -- the Belliveaus and Amiraults -- and is grounded solidly in historic facts about the
Acadian
expulsion and their exile in Massachusetts for ten years. It is an account that parallels Henry Wadsworth Longfellow'
s
epic poem, Evangeline. But unlike the separation of Evangeline and Gabriel, the desperate circumstances of
Nathalie
and Ange culminate in an
Acadian
bloodline that continues to thrive even to this day."--Provided by publisher.
