“Some of [the Newcomers] had taken up the lonely life of trapping because they couldn’t stand the lonely life of civilization. Some of them were running from women, from the fathers of women, from lawmen, or from each other. On the rough side, all of them were at least a little bit crazy whether they had started out that way or not.” In this sometimes humorous, sometimes deadly serious account of life in 1678-81 Acadia when the Newcomers attempted to foist their ways onto The People, Keskoua, a Mi'gmaw girl, takes us into her world where murder and deceit mean nothing to those who come from away. Sherrill Wark, the author, a descendant of “the Frenchman Claude Guidry,” brings us on a journey of enlightenment through the eyes of a resilient people determined to survive against almost unbearable challenges.

This tale is told through a Mi'gmaw teenage girl named Keskoua, as she brings us into her world in the late seventeenth century of Acadia, the New World, a new life journey for the Mi'gmaw and the European newcomers. Although the story takes its place in history, the people of present time can relate to the human challenges that we all face during the course of a lifetime. Author Sherrill Wark defines the characters to the extent that they lift off of the pages and step into the imagination. She weaves a tapestry of the time that ushers the reader through joy, the every day life of the ancestors, and fills us with the intrigue of murder and the shock of disappearances. Keskoua guides us along the trail of history that went on to shape the course of Canada's future. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and am looking forward to the next book in the series. - Jo-Ann L. Tremblay

By Phyllis Bohonis Death in l’Acadie is a story of everyday life among the Mi′gmaq near Port Royal as told by a ‘pain in the arse’ teenage girl named Keskoua. From the first paragraph to the last, Keskoua’s storytelling keeps the reader involved. If it were in present time, it would be dubbed a ‘coming of age’ story. In the late 17th century, ‘coming of age’ isn’t that simple for young women—or young men for that matter. Early marriage, death from childbirth, murder and disappearances are common occurrences.“Ms. Wark has managed to give a raw yet entertaining glimpse into life in early l’Acadie without sacrificing authenticity of fact. History as it should be taught.”—Phyllis Bohonis, author of Fire in the Foothills, The Wilderness, Tomorrow’s Promise, and Helen Whittaker - first in the 73 Windsor series.
