“A well-told tale”: review
A great overview of Jeanne Dugas of Acadia, our new novel by Cassie Deveaux Cohoon, was published by the Oran last week (June 26 edition): “…a remarkable feat of imagination supported by countless hors of research.”
The novel is biographical fiction, the story of an Acadian woman and her family as they try to stay one step ahead of deportation.
“Jeanne Dugas of Acadia is a story for any reader who enjoys a well-told tale,” the review continues, “and if during that reading you are made aware of some of Nova Scotia’s darkest corners, least proud moments, feel perhaps for the first time a twinge of shame, [then] Cassie Cohoon has achieved much with her work.”
