The Seamstress of Acadie might just Laura Frantz’s most emotional book to date, at least to this reader. Because of my own Acadian ancestry. Sylvie Galant is French Acadian in Canada when England and France are on the brink of war. But the Acadians just want to live in peace. I love Sylvie’s relationship with her siblings, especially Bleu. William Blackburn is the ranger sent to remove Sylvie’s fellow Acadians. And somehow, they both end up in colonial Virginia.

The Seamstress of Acadie is one of the authors faster paced books. There’s never a slow moment in the story. This one is also the most diverse book from this author. Previous books have included both main and secondary indigenous characters this one includes a look at enslaved peoples in colonial Virginia if only from secondary characters. And the author writes it in a way that flows naturally to the story.

And of course, there’s always the third act twist. And if you don’t like the third act twist this might not be the book for you. And of course, the author knows how to write the colonial equivalent of a mean girl. William Blackburn finds himself as my second favorite hero and Sylvie my favorite heroine.
